Maintenance
Oil level check-up with the
engine running
With engine running, oil level will
drop slightly, since oil requires a
pressure of appox. 2-4 bar to
overcome flow resistance when
flowing through the system. Add
enough oil to keep oil at upper mark.
Stop engine. Oil level should not
raise more than 1-2 cm. A higher oil
level indicates that there is air in the
system.
Filter change
a. Unscrew closing plug from cover
of oil tank and remove tank cover.
b. Pull out used filter cartridge.
When pulling out, keep bore of
filter cartridge closed so that no
dirty oil could flow back into tank.
c. Lubricate filter carrier and insert
new filter cartridge with metal
collar in upward direction.
d. Crank engine for a short period
with starter motor, so that oil level
will drop. Then bleed the system.
Replace oil/oil filter at every
80,000 kms. Bleed the system and
check performance with test
equipment.
