The level is correct if the oil reaches ap-
prox the "MAX" mark.
WARNING
Never exceed the "MAX" mark, nor
leave the oil below the "MIN" mark, in
order to avoid serious damage to the
engine.

WARNING
When warmed up, the engine contains
hot oil and the engine oil tank (3) is

vent any foreign matter from falling into
the oil tank, this could cause serious
engine damage.
Do not use any flammable solvents
such as alcohol or gasoline when wip-
ing the oil tank. The oil tank is hot
enough to cause ignition of flammable
solvents.
Use only a nature fiber cloth, i.e. cotton.
Man made fabrics such as polyester,
etc. could ignite.
N
Unscrew and remove the filler cap (4).
CAUTION
When topping up, never exceed the
