SERVICE CHECKS
Oil - Check (Level)
Oil is toxic. If you swallow any oil, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice. Used engine oil
contains harmful contaminants which can cause skin cancer. Do not handle used engine oil more than
necessary. Always use barrier cream or wear gloves to prevent skin contact. Wash skin contaminated
with oil thoroughly in warm soapy water. Do not use petrol, diesel fuel or paraffin to clean your skin.
WARNING! Never check the oil level or add oil with the engine running. Be careful of hot lubricating
oil. Danger of scalding.
Notice: Do not exceed the correct level of engine oil in the sump. If there is too much engine oil, the
excess
must be drained to the correct level. An excess of engine oil could cause the engine speed to increase
rapidly without control.
Engine oil and oil filter change must be completed in accordance with the service schedules. Failure to
change the oil and filter at the recommended interval could cause serious engine failure.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Make the machine safe.
3. Wait for the oil to drain back into the engine sump before you take a reading. If not, a false low
reading
may be recorded which can cause the engine to be overfilled.
4. Get access to the engine.
