MAINTENANCE

Changing the oil

The oil should be changed for the first time after 8
hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 50 hours of running time. If the
engine is run hard or during high temperatures the
oil should be changed every 25 running hours.

The oil is filled in the same hole as the dip stick.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Used engine oil is hazardous to health

and must by law not be poured out on the
ground or in the nature, but shall be
handed in to a workshop or special
environmental station. Avoid skin contact,
wash with soap and water in the event of
spillage.

6. Fill up with oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick.

Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30, class
CD–CF (over 0°). Use engine oil SAE 5W-30,
class CD–CF (below 0°). The total oil volume in
the engine is 1.3 litres.

7. Run the engine warm and then check that there

is no leakage from the oil plug.

WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine
is stopped. Therefore allow the
engine to cool down first.

1. Dismantle the engine hood as described on

page 18.

2. Place a receptacle under the engine’s drain

plug.

3. Remove the dip stick. Remove the drain plug on

the left-hand side of the engine.

4. Let the oil run out into the receptacle.

5. Fit the oil plug and tighten well.
