Oil level, checking and topping up

The oil level must be inside the marked area on the
dipstick and must be checked daily before the first
start.
• Top up with oil via the filler opening (1).
Check that the correct level has been achieved. If
the engine is stationary, wait for a few minutes to
allow the oil to run down into the oil pan.
• Do not fill above the maximum oil level. Only use a
recommended grade of oil; refer to Technical
Data, page 85.
• The oil level is only measured at the time the ignition
is turned on, not continually during operation.

Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns.

to a re-cycling station for destruction.
3 Remove the drain hose (or install the bottom drain
plug).
