To replace the engine oil and oil filter

If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes

before you drain the engine oil. This makes the engine

oil warm and easier to drain.

WARNING: Engine oil is very hot directly

after the engine stops. Let the engine

become cool before you drain the engine oil.

If you spill engine oil on your skin, clean with

soap and water.

1. Unscrew the drain plug from the drain hose and

drain off all the oil into a container.

2. Install the oil drain plug and tighten it.
3. Replace the oil filter.

4. Fill the engine with oil to the maximum mark on the

dipstick. Refer to 

Technical data on page 18

 for the

engine oil volume. Make sure that there is no

leakage.

To drain the water separator

1. Remove the drain plug for the water separator.

2. Drain until there is only clean fuel in the bowl.
