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.
