5.3 Checking the Engine Oil
When Check the engine oil level daily before starting the machine.
Requirements
„
Engine stopped and cold
„
Rammer upright
„
Clean, dry cloth
„
Fresh oil
Note: After transporting the rammer horizontally, upright the rammer and allow the oil to
drain back through the engine. It may take up to 45 minutes for the oil level to recover.
Procedure Follow the procedure below to check the engine oil.
1. Tilt the machine backwards approximately 15° until the engine is level by
placing a wedge under the shoe.
2. Unscrew and remove the dipstick (a) . Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth.
3. The oil surface should reach no higher than the bottom of the filler neck “H”, but
no lower than “L” (see drawing) or visible on the dipstick when it is inserted (not
screwed) into the filler neck.
4. Add fresh oil through the filler neck as required. Refer to the chart below (or see
Technical Data ) for recommended oil for the ambient temperature range.
NOTICE: Do not overfill. The oil level should just reach the bottom of the filler
neck. Too much oil can cause damage to the engine and the rammer.
5. Reinstall the dipstick.
