FILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL
For quantities of oil required please refer to pages 7 to 17.
When checking the engine oil level, do so before starting,
or more than five minutes after stopping.
1. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick, wipe
it clean, re-insert it, and draw it out again, please
refer to image 38. Check to see that the oil level lies
between the two notches.
2. If the level is too low, add new oil to the engine to
the specified level, please refer to image 39.

running time and then every year or every 250 hours if
sooner.
IMPORTANT!
Over-filling your engine with oil can be as
detrimental as under-filling.
