Maintenance task. Oil filter change
The oil filter is located under inlet manifold of the engine. Remove oil
filter with a belt wrench. When fitting a fresh oil filter, smear a small quantity
of oil into the annular seal and firmly tighten it with the hand. When this
operation is finished, start the engine and check oil is not leaking.
Maintenance task. Oil level check
Check the oil level in the crankcase daily or before each start-up to ensure that the level is
between the upper (Max mark) and lower (Min mark) lines on the dipstick. To check the oil level:
1.
Remove the dipstick
2.
Wipe the dipstick end
3.
Reinsert it inside the guide
4.
Remove it again to see the oil level
If the motor is installed with an inclination, the level of the oil rods may vary. See the attached
table to check the correct level of oil in the dipstick.
H: maximum level that marks the rod
L: minimum level that marks the rod
E: Adjustment of the maximum level according to the inclination of the motor. It can be a
positive or negative measure

Do not operate the engine if the oil level is below the Min mark or above the Max mark. Be careful the
oil dipstick marks refer to the engine as a horizontal position. Therefore, check the engine inclination
when the oil level is verified.
