Changing the engine oil

GB
It is easier to drain off the oil while it is
warm, as it is thinner.
Place a suitable collection vessel under the
drain screw (9). Unscrew the dipstick (8) and
remove. Undo the screw (9) and allow the
oil to run into the collection vessel.
Retighten the drain screw once all the oil
has run out. Re� ll the engine with engine
oil through the nozzle by the dipstick and
check that the oil level is between the
markings on the dipstick.

About compactor oil
The plate compactor is based on a closed
system, so there is no need to check or
