Checking the oil level
The oil level can be checked from either side.
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.
Checking the oil level
☞ Proceed as follows:
• Park the machine on level ground
➥ Max. inclination about 5°
• Stop the engine!
• Oil dipstick A:
☞ Pull it out
☞ Wipe it with a lint-free cloth
☞ Push it back in as far as possible
☞ Withdraw it and read off the oil level
☞ However if necessary, fill up oil at the latest when the oil reaches the MIN mark on the
oil dipstick A
