MAINTENANCE
Checking Engine Oil Level
The engine oil specified for use in the
TRAXX RF is Castrol Edge with Syntec,
5W40 Synthetic Motor Oil. This oil has
been tested to provide maximum
lubrication when the TRAXX RF is
operated on hill in excess of 60º. The use
of other no specified synthetic oils or any other brand of
standard engine oil may result in the loss of lubrication when
operated on hills, and will void the engine warranty.
• Park the machine on a firm level site.
• Ensure engine is switched off and the key removed and
pocketed.
• Remove dipstick and wipe with a clean rag.
• Replace dipstick then remove again and check the level -
oil level is correct if the oil reaches the upper marker on
the dipstick.
• If oil level is too low, top off using ‘CASTROL SYNTEC’
or ‘CASTROL EDGE with SYNTEC, 5w40 oil. When
topping off oil always clean the surrounding area of the
filler cap before removal of the cap to avoid the risk of dirt
contaminating the oil.
• When oil level is correct replace dipstick.
