Changing engine oil

For information about oil change intervals; see the
"Service Schedule".
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained directly after stopping the
engine. Allow the engine to cool
down first.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
must not be disposed of on the ground or
into the environment; it should always be
disposed of at an appropriate disposal site.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and
water in case of spills.
Oil drain plug
Tip! When draining the engine oil, fold a piece
of cardboard and use it to guide the oil into the
drainage container.
Place a container under the engine's oil drain plug.
Remove the dipstick and drainage plug. If equiped
with a oil drain plug that can be opened by hand:
Turn counterclockwise and pull out to open.
Let the oil run out into the container.
Fit the drain plug and tighten it.
Fill with oil up to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Oil is topped up through the same opening as
the dipstick. See "Delivery measures\Checking
the engine oil level" for the filling procedure. Use
engine oil according to "Specifications".
Run the engine warm, then check that there is no
leakage from the oil plug.

Checking and adjusting the steering
cables
The steering is controlled with cables. These can
stretch after a time, which means the steering
settings can change.
Steering can be checked and adjusted in the
following way:
1 Remove the frame cover by loosening the
screws. 3 pcs screws:
2 Check the tension of the steering cables. A
correctly tensioned cable should be possible
to move with your fingers 10-15 mm along the
steering collar.
3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by
tightening the adjuster nuts on each side of the
steering collar. Do not overtension the cables.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable
wrench, so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel's
center position may change.
Check the wire tension as set out in point 2 after
you have made the adjustment.
