LUBRICATION
Changing the oil
The oil should be changed for the first time after 8 hours of running time. Thereafter it should be changed every 100 hours of running time. With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the oil after every 50 hours. WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is stopped. Therefore allow the engine temperature to drop from hot to warm level first. 1. Place a receptacle under the engine�s drain plug, located on the left-hand side of the engine. 2. Remove the dip stick and drain plug. 3. Drain the oil run into the receptacle while the engine is warm. 4. Fit the drain plug and tighten. 5. Refill with fresh oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick. The oil is filled in the same hole as for the dip stick. See �Checking the engine�s oil level� for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.5 litres (1.6 USqt) when oil filter is not changed and 1.7 litres (1.8 USqt) when oil filter is changed. 6. Run the engine warm and then check that there is no leakage from the drain plug. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Used engine oil is hazardous to health and environment and must in accordance with the law not be poured out on the ground or in the nature, and must be handed in to a workshop or other designated station for treatment. Avoid skin contact. Wash with soap and water in the event of spillage.
Changing the oil filter
Replace the oil filter every 200 operating hours. Drain the oil first, using the plug on the filter base. Remove the old filter by turning it counterclockwise, using an oil filter tool. Lightly coat the rubber gasket with new oil and then install the filter by turning it clockwise until hand tight. Tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn. Supply new engine oil as specified in �Checking the engine's oil level�. Make sure the drain is reinstalled before starting the engine.Start the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop and check for leakage. Add oil to compensate for oil level drop due to oil filter capacity.
