Engine Oil Change
Make sure engine is at operating temperature. Shut-off
the engine. Remove the drain plug (A) located on the lo-
wer right side of the engine crankcase and allow all the
oil to drain. Make sure the seal is in good condition and
install the drain plug.
Engine Drain Plug
Remove the oil filter. Carefully clean the gasket seat on
the filter.
NOTE: The seal ring usually sticks on the mating surface
of the filter head. Make sure to remove it .
IMPORTANT: Before installing, fill the oil filter with new
and clean oil. Before installing the filter, apply also a light
film of oil in the area of the filter gasket seal.
IMPORTANT: Tightening the filter with a wrench can da-
mage it, therefore tighten it by hand. Then check if there
are leaks around the base when the engine is running.
Tighten it more if necessary. The proper torque is comple-
ted with 3/4" of a turn after contact by grasping the base
with both hands.

Add specified oil, through the filler neck. Start the engine
and keep it running for 15 minutes to fill the filters and
lubricate the engine. Check the oil level and top off as
necessary. Check if there is any leakage from the filters.
LUbRICATION ANALYSIS
The normal engine oil change interval is every 500 hours
of operation or once a year whichever occurs first. Ope-
rating conditions, quality of the engine oil and sulphur
content of the fuel can change this interval. It is recom-
mended to use the Systemgard. Lubrication Analysis Pro-
gram. See your dealer CASE.
IMPORTANT: Never drain oil or remove oil filter while en-
gine is running.
WARNING: Replace all covers or guards af-
ter servicing or cleaning the machine. NEVER
