5.7.4 - Change the engine oil filter(s) every 400 hours
To change the filter
1 (Fig. 12)
1. Unscrew and discard the filter assembly.
2. Fill the new filter slowly with clean oil.
3. Smear a few drops of clean engine oil on the new seal-
ing ring, then place it on top of the new filter.
4. Screw the filter onto the filter head until the sealing
ring just contacts the filter head, then tighten it further
half turn by hand only (do not overtighten).
5. Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump.
CAUTION: After changing the oil and the fil-
ter(s), ensure that the engine will not start
and operate the starter motor until oil pres-
sure is obtained, waiting for the 5 bar light to
go out. To ensure that the engine will not start, discon-
nect the electrical stop control of the fuel injection
pump. Run the engine and check for leaks, then
recheck the oil level and top up if necessary. The valves
clearance should be checked by your dealer or agent
every 1200 hours.

Depending on the model: Check hoses periodically for leak-
age, abrasion or other damage (A Fig. 14).

connected as this could lead to dust damage to the
engine.
DO NOT operate the engine with a clogged air filter.
DO NOT allow any of the hoses to be twisted or
crushed or at risk from twisting.
