Air Cleaner. Replacement
Remove air cleaner cover. Remove the old air filter.
Clean the air cleaner cover/housing as required. Take
care that no contaminants enter the engine. Install the
new air filter and air cleaner cover.
Compressor. Checking oil
Checking and topping up
Unscrew and remove the dipstick. Wipe off oil. Screw
the dipstick down fully and then remove it again.
Check that the level oil is between the markings. If
the dipstick is not screwed down fully the oil level will
be slightly above the MIN marking if the oil level is
correct. Ensure therefore that the dipstick is fully
MAX
screwed in to read off the oil level correctly. Top up
the oil as required (use the dip stick tube to fill). For
MIN
oil quality and capacity: See the "Technical Data"
chapter.
IMPORTANT! The oil level should always be
within the MAX and MIN range marked on the
dipstick.
Oil change
Run engine to normal operating temperature. Remove
the oil dipstick. Remove the plug (1) and let the oil run
out. Reinstall the plug and fill with oil to correct level
as above.
Exhaust system. Check
The exhaust system in the drive installations must be
checked every year for corrosion damage between
hose (1) and the pipe (2).
WARNING! Risk of water penetration. Checking
the exhaust system should be carried out with
the boat on land.
If there is heavy corrosion the pipe should be re-
paired or replaced with a new one.
To check: Undo the clamp (3) and the two lower
clamps holding the hose (1). Raise the elbow (4) so
the hose frees off from the pipe. Check the mating
surface (5). If there is heavy corrosion the pipe should
be repaired or replaced with a new one.
