CHECKING AND CHANGING ENGINE OIL
This product is NOT supplied with Engine oil, although trace of oil from the manufacturing process may be present.
It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the engine before use. Failure to add engine oil will
void the product warranty.
•
Always check engine oil level when the machine is in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
•
Do not use used or contaminated engine oils.
•
Use only engine oils of the correct type (check the technical data).
•
Perform the first oil change within the first 20 hours of use. Subsequently, change the oil every 20 hours of use.
•
It is recommended that the engine be warm, but not hot, when performing oil changes. When the oil is warn it drains faster.
•
Using dirty or incorrect engine oil may cause engine damage and void any warranty.
•
Always use suitable tools.
•
Always dispose of used oil in an environmentally responsible manner and according to regulations.
Four-stroke engines require oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or irreparable damage
may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires regular maintenance as per
the maintenance schedule.
To check engine oil level:
1. Place the machine in an upright position on a flat and level surface.
2. Clean the machine around the oil filler cap/dipstick (A) so that no dirt or other material enters the engine
when the cap is removed.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (rotate let) until fully unscrewed, or, for bayonet style
caps, unlocked, then:
-
Wipe the dipstick clean with a piece of cloth or paper.
-
Insert the dipstick back into the oil filler but do not screw/lock it in.
-
Remove and inspect the dipstick, the oil level is determined by where oil can be seen
on it. Depending on model, the dipstick has two “dots” or is “hatched” or “ribbed”
to indicate the permissible minimum and maximum levels.
4. Ensure that the oil level is at or just under the permissible maximum. If the oil level is low,
add additional oil until the correct level is reached. If the oil is too high, drain some oil
until the correct level is reached.
5. When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual
oil from the machine.
To change the engine oil:
1. Place the machine on a suitable work surface that is flat and level and have a container ready to catch the drained oil.
2. Clean the machine around the oil filler (A) so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the plug
or cap is removed.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (rotate left) until fully screwed, or, for bayonet style caps, unlocked.
4. Tilt the machine and drain all oil from the engine. Once drained, allow the machine to sit level again.
5. Using a funnel, carefully add oil to the engine until the permissible maximum is reached. Double-check the
oil level (described above)
6. When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the machine.
