8 Maintenance and inspection
Replace the engine lubricant and the oil filter after
every 100 hours of service or at least once a year.
Remove the dipstick first. Then insert the hose of the
special sump pump into the pipe of the dipstick. Extract
the oil from the engine by quickly pushing down the
grip of the sump pump and then pull it slowly upwards.
When all lubricating oil has been drained, replace the
oil filter. A little more oil may then come out of the
engine. Collect this oil in a beaker or bowl and bring it,
with the rest of the used oil, to the service station, all
in accordance with the environmental directives.
Clean the surface of the rubber ring in the rim of the
new oil filter and grease it with fresh engine lubrication
oil.
Turn the new oil filter onto the engine, thereby
following the instructions given on the filter housing.
Changing of the engine lubrication oil
Replacing the oil filter
Adding new oil
Fill the engine with lubrication oil with specifications
as outlined on page 11 through the filling opening on
top of the engine.
Use a funnel in order to avoid spilling of oil over the
engine. Close the filler opening and have the engine
idling during a few moments and check for leaks.
Stop the engine and check the oil level by means of the
dipstick, after about 5 minutes time.
Replacing the oil must take place when
the engine has its operating tempe-
rature (but is stopped, of course), so
that the fluid can be pumped out easily.
The oil temperature is then about 80
degrees Celsius, so watch out for
burning the skin!
