12 Engine oil change
13 Draining the oil
Change the engine oil every 100 hours of operation (together with engine oil filter replacement).
Change the oil with a switched off engine at operation temperature. (Lube oil temperature max. 80°C (176°F).)
If the engine runs less than 100 hours during the year the oil should be changed at least once a year.
Danger Be aware of the risk of skin burning during draining the hot oil! Used oil must be collected in a container for proper disposal according to laws and regulations.
Run the engine for a few minutes before changing the oil; warm oil can be pumped out more easily.
Remove the dipstick; insert the suction hose of the supplied sump pump in the dipstick tube. Push down the pump handle quickly and pull it up slowly.
