2. Loosen oil filling cap
Unscrew the oil filling cap. This is necessary, because
otherwise a vacuum will form and the oil can not
completely drain off.

3. Open oil drain screw.
Unscrew the oil drain screw by means of the open-ended
wrench from the oil drain hose (rotating direction left).
Use a second open-ended wrench to lock. Make sure to
do this over the container.
Use spanner size 17 mm.
4. Discharge used oil.
Let the entire amount of oil drain out of the engine. This can take several minutes.

5. Fill in oil. (oil fill capacity: see attachment)
Fill the engine oil into the engine via feed hopper. Check oil-level after every 2 litres with the oil dipstick.
6. Check proper filling level. See section 8.8, “Checking oil-level,” on page 78.
When the proper filling level is reached, screw in the oil cap again. Run the engine for 10 minutes and then turn it
off. Check the oil-level once more after several minutes with the oil dipstick. If it is too low, refill some oil.
