• Open the filler cap and remove the dipstick so that the sump can ventilate.
• Only use recommended oil. (See reference list at the back of this manual.)
• Repeatedly check the oil level during replenishment to avoid over-filling.
• Clean away any spilled oil once the job is completed.
Caution:
• Be aware that it will take a while for the oil to fully descend into the sump.
Make sure you leave small intervals when filling the oil so that the dipstick
gives the correct oil level reading.
• Oil shortages cause severe, irreparable engine damage. (This type of defect is
not covered under warranty).

Changing the engine oil
• In order to drain the oil, position the Snowbob 9018 T with the left caterpillar track slightly
elevated (on a pallet for example) at about 14 cm. Then open the right valve on the ma-
chine.
• As a precaution, remove the key from the ignition.
• Clean the area around the oil filler cap on the other side of the engine and unscrew the
cap, allowing the crankcase to vent while emptying the tank.
• Unfold the drainage hose and position a receptacle with a 2l capacity under the end of the
hose.
• You can unscrew the cap of the hose with 20 and 23 spanners; the dirty oil will then run
out of the engine. Once all of the oil has run out of the machine, secure the cap of the
drainage hose once again. Then click the drainage hose back into its holder.
• Fill up with about 1.1l of oil and then replace the Snowbob on level ground. Wait for a short
while before checking the oil level and, if necessary, fill further.
• Once filling is complete, do not forget to replace the oil filler cap.
