Viscosity
Select the viscosity from the table below, for the ap-
propriate continuous ambient air temperature.
* Refers to synthetic or semi-synthetic oils.
Oil change volume
Please refer to the "Technical Data" chapter.
Oil level. Inspection
Make sure that the oil level is between the MAX and
MIN marks.
IMPORTANT! In continuous operation, the oil
level should be checked every 8 hours.
WARNING! Working with, or going close to a
running engine is a safety risk. Watch out for ro-
tating components and hot surfaces.
Oil and oil filters. Change
Always follow the recommended oil change interval
and always change the oil filter during oil changes.
On stationary engines, the bottom plug should not be
removed. Use an oil drain pump to suck the oil up.
1. Clean the oil filter holder thoroughly to avoid dirt
entry when the new filter(s) is/are installed.
2. Warm the engine up.
WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can
cause burns.
3. Remove the bottom plug. Drain the oil.
4. Install the bottom plug with a new gasket.
5. Remove the filer (1). Check that the gasket has
not been left behind on the engine.
5. Fill the new filters with engine oil and wipe oil on
the gaskets. Screw the filters on by hand until the
gaskets just touch the mating surface. Then turn
the filter a further half turn. Not more!
6. Fill up with oil to the correct level. Do not fill over
the MAX level.
7. Start the engine and let it idle. Check that the oil
pressure is normal.
8. Stop the engine. Check that no oil leakage occurs
around the filters. Top up with oil as necessary.
Collect the old oil and old filters and hand them
to a re-cycling station for destruction.
