1. Engine oil
The engine should be warm (but not hot)
when changing the oil. Warm oil flows out
faster and leaves a smaller quantity of old oil
inside the engine.
1.
Place a suitable vessel underneath the
oil drainage screw. Remove the oil
dipstick and the oil drainage screw (5) on
left side of the engine.
Tip: Make a channel using a piece of
cardboard to lead the oil directly into the
vessel and avoid soiling the machine chassis.
2.
Allow the engine oil to drain into the
vessel; then replace the drainage screw.
Tighten it moderately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the
ground or in nature; it should always be
disposed of at a workshop or appropriate
disposal location. Avoid skin contact;
wash with soap and water in case of
spills.
3.
Make sure the machine is parked on flat
ground. Fill with new oil using the
appropriate viscosity according to the
diagram, API Service SF-SG, to the
upper level mark on the dipstick =
threads on the oil dipstick (2). The engine
takes .63 qts. (.6 liter) of oil. When
checking the oil level, the dipstick should
not be screwed in.
4.
Check that the rubber gasket is in
position and screw the dipstick back into
place. DO NOT tighten it too hard or you
may damage the threads.
5.
Wipe up any spilled oil.
Checking the engine's oil level.
Make sure that the machine is parked on flat
ground with the engine stopped when
checking the oil level.
1.
Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it using
paper towel or a lint-free rag.
2.
Replace the dipstick without screwing it
in. Remove and check the level on the
dipstick.
