LUBRICATION
Changing the oil
The oil should be changed for the first time after 5
hours of running time. Thereafter it should be
changed every 50 hours of running time.
With heavy loads or high temperatures replace the
oil after every 25 hours.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine
is stopped. Therefore allow the
engine to cool down first.
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.
Check the engine’s oil level
Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider
stands horizontal with the engine switched off.
Fold open the engine cover.
Release the dip stick and pull out. Wipe off the oil
and insert again.
The dip stick must be fully screwed down.
Now release the dip stick again and pull out. Check
the oil level.
The oil level should lie between the markings on dip
stick. If the level approaches the ADD mark, top up
with oil to the FULL mark.
The oil is filled in the same hole for the dip stick.
Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly
before starting the engine. Start and run the engine
at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the
engine. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. If
necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the ”FULL”
mark on the dipstick.
First and foremost use synthetic engine oil class
SJ-CF 5W/30 or 10W/30 for all temperature ranges.
Mineral oil SAE30, class SF–CC can be used at
temperatures > +5°C (40°F).
Do not mix different types of oil.
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. Let the oil run out into the receptacle.
4. Fit the drain plug and tighten.
5. Fill up with oil to the FULL mark on the dip stick.
The oil is filled in the same hole for the dip stick.
See ”Checking the engine’s oil level” above for
filling instructions. The engine holds 1.4 litres
(1.5 USqt) of oil.
6. Run the engine warm and then check that there
is no leakage from the drain plug.
