Clean the rest of the machine with a cloth dampened

- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.

oil and recheck.

container at the end of the tube to prevent oil
spilling on the machine or the ground).
