Lubrication
Checking the engine’s oil level.
Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands
horizontal with the engine switched off.
Open the engine cover.
Loosen the dipstick, pull it up and wipe it off.
The dipstick should be completely screwed down
Pull the dipstick out again and read the oil level.
The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick.
If the level is approaching the ADD mark, top up the oil to the
FULL mark on the dipstick.
The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in.
Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting
the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for
approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the motor. Wait 30 seconds and
check the oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.
First and foremost use synthetic engine oil class SJ-CF 5W/
30 or 10W/30 for all temperature ranges. Mineral oil SAE30,
class SF–CC can be used at temperatures > +5 °C (40 °F)
Do not mix different types of oil.
Replacing the engine oil
The engine oil should be changed the first time after 5 hours
running time. It should then be changed after every 50 hours
of running time.
When operating with a heavy load or at high ambient
temperatures, replace every 25 hours.
1 Place a container underneath the engine’s left oil drain
plug.
2 Remove the dipstick. Remove the drain plug from the
engine’s left side.
3 Let the oil run out into the container.
4 Fit the drain plug and tighten it.
5 Fill with oil up to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick The oil is
topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. See
Checking the engine’s oil level for filling instructions.
6 Run the engine warm, then check that there is no leakage
from the oil plug.
Changing the oil filter
The oil filter must be replaced after every 200 hours running
time. Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If
necessary, use a filter remover.
Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter using new
oil. Fit the oil filter by turning clockwise. Turn by hand until the
rubber seal is seated. Now tighten a further half turn.
Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine’s oil level.
Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop
it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate
for the oil held in the new oil filter.
!
WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained directly after stopping the engine.
Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.
