Maintenance

Check the coolant level.
WARNING! Open the filler cap very carefully if
the engine is hot. Steam or hot liquid may spray
out.
Turn the cap to the first stop and wait a moment
before removing the cap. The level should reach the
filler pipe.
A solution which is the same as that already in the
cooling system should be used to replenish the
system.

Check the oil level in the reverse gear or S-drive
The oil level is checked by using the dipstick (1). The
level should be between the marks on the dipstick. If
necessary the oil can be topped up through the oil
filler (2). See "Technical Data" for type of oil to be
used.

1
Check the engine oil level. This should be within the area
marked on the dipstick. Fill with oil when necessary
through the oil filler.
NOTE! The oil level must never drop below the lower
mark. Do not exceed the maximum mark. See "Tech-
nical Data" for choice of oil.
Drain water from the fuel filter. Open the venting
screw (1) approx. 3 turns. Then open the drain screw
(2) and drain the fuel/water into a suitable container.
Tighten the drain screw and vent the fuel system. See
"Venting the fuel system".
If an extra fuel filter with water separator is fitted,
check the transparent bowl to see if there is any
water in the fuel. If necessary, drain the filter into a
suitable container via the cock in the bottom of the bowl.
