hydraulic fluid before delivery. See
"RECOMMENDED OILS". (Do not mix
different oils!)

Should the oil level be too low, fill oil
through the oil port before starting the
engine. This step is important for the
protection of the hydraulic system.
Open the engine bonnet.
When the separated water is being
drained, the red float moves upward.
When the red float has reached the
indication line, close the cock so that no
fuel can run out. Now loosen the ring
nut, remove the cup, empty the cup and
clean the cup.
Place the cup back into position. Bleed
the fuel system.
Finally, do not forget to open the cock.
