4.7.3.d CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
DANGER
•
When refuelling, avoid spilling fuel to prevent any risk of
fire. If some fuel should inadvertently be spilled, clean the
dirty area immediately.
•
Fuel is flammable; neither use naked flames, nor smoke
while refuelling.
•
Thrust the filling gun into the filler.
To check the level, use the indicator (1) positioned on the dash-
board; do not fill the tank completely, in order to leave sufficient
space for the fuel to expand.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
It is advisable to refuel after work, in order to avoid the for-
mation of water condensate.
•
After refuelling, tighten the filler cap (2) thoroughly and
lock the tank.

DANGER
•
Soon after the machine has been stopped the engine is
very hot and may cause burns; let the engine cool down
before carrying out any check.
The dipstick (1) can be reached after opening the engine hood.
See “3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD”.
The oil level must be checked with cold engine and the machine
at rest on level ground.
The oil level must be checked on the graduated dipstick (1) and
it must be included between the MIN. and MAX. marks; if the
level is near the MIN. mark, top up with the suitable oil indicated
in the lubricant chart, at ambient temperature.
(See “4.3 FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS”).
IMPORTANT
☞
•
If it is necessary to check the oil level during or soon after
work, stop the engine and wait for 15 minutes before car-
rying out the check.
