Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to
expand when it warms up without overflowing.
See fig. 18.
7.2 Checking the engine oil level
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if
the level comes below it. See fig. 19.
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark.
This results in the engine overheating. If the oil
level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be
drained until the correct level is achieved.
7.3 Checking transmission oil level
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (20:R). It
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If
necessary, top up with more oil.
