WARNING
RISK OF BURNS !
Only check the oil and coolant levels when the engine is cool.
a) Check oil level
Turn the propeller several times in the
direction of
engine rotation
to pump oil from the engine back into
the oil tank.

NEVER turn the propeller against the direction of engine rotation.
Stop turning the propeller when air begins to return to the oil tank. This is indicated by the
sound of air rushing from the open oil tank.
Use the oil dip stick to check that the oil level is between the -min./max.- markings. The
difference between -min./max.- is approximately 0.48 US Quarts (0.45 l).
