Engine Lubrication system Oil Level Check Check engine oil before starting the engine. 1. Remove dipstick gauge (A) provided on R.H side of crankcase. 2. Oil level should be between the two marks provided on dipstick.

Oil Change Change engine oil initially at 50 Hours and subsequently after every 100 hours of operation. 1. Ensure that the engine is stopped before changing oil. 2. Remove the drain plug (C) provided at bottom of oil sump. 3. Allow the oil to drain at least for five minutes. All the oil can be drained out when engine is still warm. 4. Now reinstall the drain plug. 5. Replace the oil filter as explained below. 5. Remove the oil filler cap (B) to expose the oil filler neck. 6. Refill the oil sump slowly by recommended grade of oil (15W40) from the oil filler neck. 7. Allow the oil to settle down in oil sump and check engine oil level as detailed above. 8. Clean and refit the oil filler cap. Engine Oil Filter The life of engine depends upon clean oil being circulated to its bearings. In the normal course of engine operation the lubricating oil undergoes changes which produce harmful byproducts. The purpose of the oil filter is to separate and remove dirt and other injurious foreign materials from the oil and prevent these from being circulated in the engine. The oil filter element (A) should be replaced initially at 50 hrs. and subsequently after every 100 hrs. of operation or whenever engine oil is changed. Changing Spin On Filter 1. Ensure that engine is stopped before changing filter. 2. Remove the lub oil filter Guard 3. Unscrew the oil filter (D). 4. Prime the new spin-on filter with clean oil. 5. Screw the new filter to the adapter. 6. Move the Hand and foot throttle to engine “Idle” position. 7. Start the engine, check the oil pressure gauge to see whether the lubricating oil is circulating through the Engine. 8. Inspect the oil filter (A) for oil leaks. Engine oil and filter must also be changed whenever major overhaul of engine is carried out. To avoid delays, we recommend that you carry extra filter elements on hand so that replacements can be made at the correct time.
C
Never allow to let the oil level drop below the ‘Lower’ mark. Add only recommended grade of oil (15W40). Filling oil consumes time. Allow sufficient time for the oil to settle down in crankcase.
D
Note : Stop the engine immediately if Oil pressure is not recorded within 10 seconds of engine starting or Leakage is observed. Get the cause identified and rectified before proceeding further.
