Clean the plugs thoroughly with a fireproof solvent and compressed air, in
order to remove the metal abrasion. After all the oil has drained through,
clean raised and flat faces and install plugs with seals. Tighten plug

on the clutch cover and add 1.5 liters of
engine oil (e.g. Motorex Power Synt 4T).
Start the engine and check all screw connections and the oil filter cover for
leakage.
Check the engine oil level and correct if necessary.
Changing and bleeding the microfilter *
Replace the microfilter while changing the engine oil. To do so, remove
hexagon screws

and take off the microfilter cover

. Remove the
microfilter, clean its parts and check the O-ring on the microfilter lid for
signs of damage. Before installing the new micro filter, soak it in clean
engine oil. Place a new microfilter in the filter housing, apply a thin layer of
grease to the O-ring and mount the microfilter cover.
It is necessary to bleed the micro filter so that all friction areas can be
quickly supplied with engine oil. To do this, fill with oil and remove the jet
screw

from the oil line on the clutch cover. Start the engine and close off
the oil filler hole on the clutch cover with a rag. Allow the engine to run at
idle until oil runs out of the oil line

. Turn the engine off. Install seal rings
and the jet screw. Torque the jet screw to 10 Nm and check for leaks.
