Lubrication system

IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20-50 hours of operation. After that they should be changed every 100 operating hours or at least once a year. Use only the recommended grades of oil: See the chapter ”Technical Data”.

1 2 Oil level. Checking and topping up

The oil level should be within the marked area on the dipstick (1). It should be checked every day before the engine is started. Topping up is done through the valve cover (2). Top up oil slowly. Wait a few minutes before checking the oil level again to give the oil time to run down to the oil pan. Then check the level again. Use only the recommended grades of oil: See the chapter ”Technical Data”.

IMPORTANT! Do not fill the oil above the MAX level.

Oil and oil filters. Changing

1.Run the engine to operating temperature so that the oil is easier to suck out. Stop the engine. 2.Suck out the oil using an oil drain pump through oil drain pipe (1). WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns. 3.Unscrew the old filter. (To avoid oil spills put a plastic bag over the filter before it is unscrewed). 4.Check that the engine mating surface is clean. 5.Moisten the filter rubber gasket with a little oil.

Screw on the new filter by hand until it is in contact with the mating surface. And then a further half turn but no more! 6.Top up oil to correct level. Start the engine and let it idle. Check that the warning lamp for low oil pressure goes out. 7.Stop the engine. Wait for approx. 10 minutes before checking the oil level. Top up if required.

Check that there are no leaks round the oil filter.

NOTE! Collect up the old oil and filter for deposit at a proper disposal site.
