1 Commissioning the engine
Before starting the engine for the first time,
the following procedures must be carried
out:
2 Filling with engine oil
As a rule engines are delivered empty of
oil.
Fill the engine with oil through the filler
neck on top of the valve cover, for quantity
and specification see page 65.
Check the oil level with the dipstick, see
page 32.
A second oil filling cap is located at the
