11.5 Maintenance after 20 operating hours
Ensure the engine is resting on a level surface and is switched OFF.
•
Locate the plug screwed into the crankcase at the rear of the engine at the
•
bottom of the engine base. (See the engine manual).
Keep a 1 litre recepticle nearby before unscrewing the plug.
•
•
Allow all of the oil (approx. 0.75 litres) to drain from the engine.
•
Refit and tighten the plug into the drain. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any spilt
oil.
Refill the engine with new four-stroke oil. For this purpose ELIET recommends a
•
top quality oil with a high detergent content : SUNOCO DENALUBE SAE 20W50
API SF / CC.
•
Add approx. 0.75 litres of oil via the oil filler opening. Remove any spilt oil once
filling has finished. Allow some time for the oil to fill the crankcase before
measuring the oil level with the dipstick.
Place the dipstick in the filler opening without screwing it tight. Remove it and
•
check the oil on the dipstick reaches the upper level mark. If not, add more oil.
