can cause
Loss of output and engine damage.

Checking the engine oil level
Check the oil level once a day.
We recommend checking it before starting the engine. After stopping a warm
engine, wait at least 5 minutes before checking.
• Park the machine on level and horizontal ground.
• Stop the engine.
• Raise the control lever base.
• Switch off ignition.
• Remove the ignition key and carry it with you.
• Let the engine cool down.
• Open the engine cover.
• Clean the area around the oil dipstick with a lint-free cloth.
• Pull out oil dipstick A.
• Clean it with a lint-free cloth.
• Push it back in as far as possible.
• Withdraw it and read off the oil level.
• Close and lock the engine cover.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks. However if necessary,
add oil at the latest when the oil reaches the MIN mark on the oil dipstick A.
