Filling engine oil
The oil filler opening is on the valve cover. Never fill
above the “FULL” mark (upper notch on the dipstick).
Fill the oil slowly. Reinstall the dipstick before starting
the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for
approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds
and check the oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil
comes up to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.
Changing the Engine Oil
The engine oil should be changed the first time after
25 hours running time. It should then be changed after
every 250 hours of running time.
Change the oil when the engine is at a temperature hot
enough for any dirt to flow out easier.
1. Position the wheels fully to the left.
2. Place a vessel underneath the drain plug.
3. Remove the dipstick. Remove the drain plug on the
oil pan and allow the oil to run into the vessel.
4. Clean and install the drain plug and tighten.
5. Replace the oil filter if necessary. See
“7. Replacing the engine’s oil filter” on page 57.
6. Fill with oil. See “Filling engine oil” on page 56.
7. Run the engine to operating temperature, then
check that there is no leakage from the oil plug or
oil filter.
8. Check the oil level, top up if necessary.
WARNING:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly
after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool
somewhat first.
Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be
disposed of 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.
