Chain lubrication
Lubricate the chain after wet terrain or when the chain looks dry. A
high viscosity oil rather than low viscosity oil is better because it will

Checking oil level
NOTE
- To maintain the engine in perfect conditions, check the oil
level and change it regularly.
- Oil increases in volume when it is hot.
Check and adjust the
oil level when the oil has cooled.
- Initially replace the oil after 5 hours of operation and then
every 60 hours. See the maintenance table.
Changing the oil
DANGER
- The engine oil and the exhaust manifold can be very hot and cause
burns. Wait until the oil and the exhaust manifold are a little cooler.
- Exhaust fumes are highly toxic and may result in loss of
consciousness or even death. When the engine is running, ensure
that there is always adequate ventilation.
