11.3.1 Checking the oil level in the engine
crankcase + refilling
Inadequate oil in the engine will cause irrevocable damage to the engine. Therefore, regularly
check the oil level as foll ows.
• Park the machine on a level surface so that the engine is perfectly
horizontal.
• Switch off the engine and remove the ignitio n key from the ignitio n switch.

shown on the dipstick is not always correct the first time that the dipstick
is removed). Therefore reinsert the dipstick and then remove it again. The
oil level must reach the “F”(Full) mark on the dipstick.
• If not, top off (Note : do not overfill).
• First clean the area around the filler cap (2) before topping up the oil.
• Remove the filler cap and remove the dipstick so that the crankcase is ventila ted.
Caution :
Topping off the oil level is a m eticulous job :
do not overfill the reservoir

• Gently replenish the oil reservoir. Regularly check the oil level on the dipstick (to see when the
desired level has been reached).
• Only use the recommended oil (see Appendix A).
• Once the crankcase is replenished with the correct oil, place the check plug back in position and
securely retighten the oil filler cap.

Caution :
Make sure that no dirt enters the crankcase via the filler cap.
