Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel. Note the max.
filling capacity of 0.4 l. Fill the oil up to the lower edge of
the filling nozzle carefully.

Wipe the oil dipstick (14) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4.
Re-insert the oil dipstick (14) and pull it out again.
Check the oil level without screwing the oil dipstick (14)
back in.
5.
The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil
dipstick (14).
