• Park the machine on a level surface so that the engine is perfectly horizontal.
• Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key from the ignition.
• Allow the engine to cool down for approximately 15 minutes.
• Turn the right safety guard up (see § AP.A-P1)
• Take a clean cloth.
• A dipstick to measure the oil
level, is located at the rear of the
engine. (For correct location,
see the engine manual.)
• Remove the dipstick and clean
it with some tissue. Reinsert the
dipstick in the crankcase and then
remove it again. The oil level must
reach the level of the markings.
• If not, top up (note: do not overfi ll).
11.4.1.2 Topping up the oil
• A large fi ll opening has been provided in the valve cover at the top of
the engine for topping up the oil. You can unscrew the fi ller cap manually.
• Since the location of the fi lling operation is not easily accessible, use
a fi ller hose or a modifi ed funnel to avoid spilling oil.
• Always clean the funnel before you pour the oil.
• Remove the fi ller cap and remove the dipstick so that the crankcase is ventilated.
• Only use the recommended oil. (See the reference list at the back of this manual.)
• Repeat measuring the oil level while topping up to avoid overfi lling.
Caution:
Take into account that it will take some time for the oil to fl ow into the
crankcase. We recommend topping up in phases with a small time interval
so that the check with the dipstick can supply the correct oil level.
• Immediately clean away any spilled oil.
Caution:
Short of engine oil can cause irrevocable serious damage to the engine.
(Such failure is not covered by the Guarantee.)
