5. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
5.1. Engine Lubrication
5.1.1. Oil level
Check the oil level in the engine sump
daily with a dipstick. The level should be
between the two notches cut into the
dipstick and should never be allowed to
drop below the lower notch,
CAUTION : Do not add so much engine
oil that the oil level rises
above the max. marking on
the dipstick. Over filling will
result in damage to the
engine.
The oil level should be checked with the engine horizontal and only after it has been shut
down for about 5 minutes.
5.1.2. Oil drainage
With the engine at operating temperature,
remove the oil drain valve on the oil sump
and the oil cartridge bowl and allow the old
oil to drain off completely. Use a vessel of
sufficient size to ensure that the oil does
not overflow. Refit the oil drain valve.
CAUTION : The oil is hot-risk of scalding.
Do not touch the oil drain
plug with bare fingers. Oil is
an environmental hazard.
Handle ii with care!
