10.1 Engine oil change.
1
Keep the engine running for 5 or 10 minutes, so that the oil can reach some
temperature and decrease its viscosity (more liquid). In this way, it will be easier to
extract it completely.
2
Under the oil drain hole, place a suitable container to collect the used oil.
3
Unscrew the oil drain screw by turning it counterclockwise. Save the screw and its
gasket.
4
Remove the cap with the oil level, so that the engine receives air and expels the oil
faster.
5
Turn the engine by pulling the starter rope smoothly. Thus, the oil housed in the
moving parts of the engine can be extracted.
6
Once all the engine oil has been extracted, put back the drain screw with its
gasket. In case of spillages, clean.
7
Refill the engine with oil according to point 6.1 (engine oil filling) of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To safeguard the environmental regulations, the used oil must be placed in
a sealed container and delivered to a service station for recycling. Do not put it in the trash
or spill it on the ground.
