12.1.2 Topping up the engine oil
• For the topping up, a large fi lling open-
ing is provided in the valve cover above
the engines. Reach with your hand to the
tunnel cocoon and unscrew the fi ller cap.
• Look for the opening provided in the
tunnel cocoon (around the engine) and
top up with new oil using a fi lling hose or
a suitable funnel.
• If you do not have a suitable funnel, it
is advisable to lift up the feed hopper
slightly so that you can easily reach the
top of the engine. (see 11.3.5).
• Before topping up the oil, fi rst remove the dipstick so that ventilation is still possible in the crankcase.
• Only top up with the recommended oil (see reference list at the rear of this manual).
• During the topping up, check the oil level in order to prevent overfi lling.
• Immediately wipe away any spilt oil.
Caution:
Make sure that no dirt enters the crankcase via the fi ller cap.
12.2 Renewing the engine oil
It is advisable to regularly renew the engine oil. For this 3-cylinder
engine, this should be done every 100 hours.
• Ensure that the engine is parked on a level surface and is
switched OFF.
• Allow the engine to run until the oil is not too thick; then switch
OFF the engine.
• Locate the oil drain plug that is located underneath the crank-
case.
• Place a 3.5 litre container underneath the machine.
• Using a SW 17 spanner, remove the (M10) drain plug via the open-
ing underneath the engine mounting plate.
• Refi t the drain plug and tighten it using a torque of 25 Nm.
• Fill the engine with new oil (+/- 3.3 l) until the oil level reaches
the “Full” mark on the dipstick. (see 12.1.1)
