11.5.2. Changing the oil
• Before changing the oil, allow the engine to run briefly. When the oil is warm it is more liquid,
allowing a faster flow out of the engine block.
• Always turn off the engine before replacing the oil.
• Choose the drain plug on the left of the engine base.
• Since all oil would run out of the crankcase when unscrewing the plug, you must place the
machine at an angle.
• To do so, hoist the machine with a hoist, so that a wooden beam of about 10 cm (4”) can be
placed lengthwise under the right track. Read “§ 9.9 Lifting the machine” on page 49. Then
lower the machine until the left track is resting on the ground again.
• Get a one litre (1 quart) container before unscrewing the plug.
• Empty the full contents (approx. 0.75 litres (27 fl oz.)) from the engine.
• Replace the plug on the drain. Wipe away any spilled oil with a clean cloth.
• Now re-hoist the machine and remove the beam from under the right track. Place the machine
back on both tracks. Choose a flat surface (not a slope) when doing so.
• Refill the engine with fresh 4 stroke oil. ELIET recommends a top-quality oil. Consult the list of
lubricants on § 11.3 ‘Lubricants’.
• Clean the area around the filling openings to prevent dirt from entering the crankcase.
• Fill approx. 0.75 litres (27 fl oz.) of oil into one of the two oil filler openings. Fill until the oil
reaches the edge of the filling opening. Remove any spilled oil after filling.
• Wait a few minutes to allow the level to stabilise before replacing the dipstick cap. If necessary,
add some extra oil and then replace the cap on the filling cap.
