Maintenance
5.3 Engine lubrication system
If the engine oil level is too high or too low, or if an oil change is overdue, this
can cause
Engine damage and loss of output!
☞ Have the oil changed by an authorized workshop
– see chapter 5.18 Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-38
Checking the 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.
Checking the oil level
• Park the machine on level ground
• Stop the engine!
• Raise the control lever base
• Let the engine cool down
• Open the engine cover
• Clean the area around the oil dipstick with a lint-free cloth
• 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
☞ 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.
