11.4.3. Checking and topping up the engine's oil level
If the oil level in the engine drops below a certain level, the engine will automatically switch off.
At that point, the machine will have been operating with insufficient lubrication for some time.
This can increase wear, which will reduce the life of the engine. In order to avoid this situation,
regular checks on the oil level are essential.
• Place the machine on flat ground so that the engine
plate is horizontal.
• Switch off the engine.
• Leave the engine to cool down for about 15 minutes.
• Now unscrew the filler cap
(1) from the crankcase.
• The oil must be visible up to the edge in the opening of
the stopper (2) .
• If the oil tank is not filled to the brim, this indicates a lack
of oil.
• If the oil level is too low (3) it suffices to add some oil via
the filler opening until the proper level has been reached.
Continue to add oil until the desired level is reached.
• Always use recommended oil (see the list of recommen-
ded oils in the engine manual).
• Since the location of the filler opening is tricky to reach,
we recommend using a tube or special funnel to avoid
oil spills. Always clean the funnel before passing any oil
through it.
Caution: Bear in mind that it will take a while for the oil to fully descend into the
crankcase. Make sure you leave small intervals when filling the oil so that the
dipstick gives the correct oil level reading. Oil shortages cause severe, irrepara-
ble engine damage. (This type of defect is not covered under warranty).
For your information: The above description is for indication purposes. You
must also read the manual provided by the engine manufacturer.
Work slowly and carefully when topping up the oil, as the amount of oil to be added is mostly
quite small. Avoid spilling oil. Oil spills must be wiped up immediately with paper. Dispose of the
soaked paper in the chemical waste.
