Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with fuel before starting
the engine.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill with
fuel while the engine is running or still
warm.
4.2 Bleeding
The engine’s fuel system must be bled in the fol-
lowing instances:
• If the fuel tank has been run dry and air has been
drawn into the fuel system.
• After replacing the filter.
Bleed as follows:
1. Fill the tank with fuel.
2. Pump using the hand pump (10:Y) until all air
has been pumped out.
4.3 Level check, engine oil
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
40 oil.
Always check the oil level before use to ensure it
is correct. The machine should be standing on
level ground.
Check the oil level as follows:
1. Wipe around the dipstick.
2. Unscrew and pull the dipstick up.
3. Wipe the dipstick.
4. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up
again.
5. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be at
the “Max” mark as illustrated in fig. 11.
If the oil level is below the “Max” mark in fig. 11,
fill with oil as follows:
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap (11:C).
2. Fill with the necessary amount of oil. Applica-
ble oil types, see “5.4”.
3. Check the level as above.
4. When the level is correct, reinstall the oil filler
cap and tighten.
The oil level must never exceed the “Max” mark as
illustrated in fig. 11. This can cause the engine to
overheat. Drain the oil to the correct level if the oil
level exceeds the “Max” mark.
4.4 Level check, transmission oil
See 5.8.1.
