Engine oil. Check level
The oil level must be within the marked range on the
dipstick and must be checked daily before starting the
first time.
Engine oil. Filling
Top up the oil through the filler opening (1) in the ven-
tilation cover. Make sure the correct level is attained
but wait a few minutes to allow the oil to run into the
oil sump.
IMPORTANT! Do not fill above the maximum oil
level. Use only oil of the recommended grade
(see the previous page).
Engine oil. Change
Always observe the recommended oil change in-
terval. Use a manual or electric oil change pump
(optional equipment) to suck the oil out of the
sump.
IMPORTANT! Only use recommended grades of
oil (see previous page).
1. Warm the engine up (this makes it easier to suck
the oil up from the sump). Then stop the engine.
WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause
burns.
2. Remove the dipstick. Connect the suction hose of
the oil change pump to the dipstick tube (1). Suck
the oil out.
3. Change the oil filter and the by-pass filter at every
second oil change (please refer to the instruction
on the next page).
