LUBRICATION
Changing the oil
The oil should be changed for the first time after 8
hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 100 hours of running time.
With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the
oil after every 50 hours.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine temperature to
drop from hot to warm level first.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil and filter are hazardous to
health and environment and must in
accordance with the law not be poured out
on the ground or in the nature, and must
be handed in to a workshop or other
designated station for treatment. Avoid
skin contact. Wash with soap and water in
the event of spillage.
1. Place a receptacle under the engine’s drain
plug, located on the left-hand side of the engine.
2. Remove the dip stick and drain plug.
3. Drain the oil run into the receptacle while the
engine is warm.
4. Fit the drain plug and tighten.
5. Refill with fresh oil to the FULL mark on the dip
stick. The oil is filled in the same hole as for the
dip stick. See “Checking the engine’s oil level”
for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.5 litres
(1.6 USqt) when oil filter is not changed and 1.7
litres (1.8 USqt) when oil filter is changed.
6. Run the engine warm and then check that there
is no leakage from the drain plug.
Changing the oil filter
Replace the oil filter every 200 operating hours.
Remove the old filter by turning it counterclockwise,
using an oil filter tool. Lightly coat the rubber gasket
with new oil and then install the filter by turning it
clockwise until the rubber gasket will touch its seat.
Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn. Supply new
engine oil as specified in “Checking the engine's oil
level”.
Start the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop
and check for leakage.
Add oil to compensate for oil level drop due to oil
filter capacity.
