CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND TOPPING UP
WARNING
q
Soon after the machine has been stopped the engine is very hot and may cause burns; let the engine
cool down to 40-45°C before carrying out any check.
CAUTION
q
When carrying out an inspection or maintenance operation inside the engine hood, always open it com-
pletely and make sure that it is kept open by the apposite rod.
NOTE
q
If the machine is inclined, position it horizontally before carrying out the check.
q
If the engine has just been stopped, before checking the engine oil level wait approximately 15 minutes, in order
to allow the engine to cool down.
1. Open the engine hood. For details, see paragraph "3.2.6 EN-
GINE HOOD"
2. Remove the dipstick (G) and wipe it with a cloth.
3. Insert the dipstick (G) completely into the oil filler pipe, then
remove it and check the oil level.
4. Oil level must be between references H and L;
if the oil level is close to reference L, top up through the filler
(F) with the oil adapted to ambient temperature indicated in
the table of lubricants (see "4.4 FUEL, COOLANT AND LU-
BRICANTS").
5. If the oil level is above the H mark, drain the excess oil
through the drain plug (P), and check the oil level again.
6. If the oil level is correct, tighten the oil filler, then close the en-
gine hood.
