Engine Pre-Operation Check; Higher Altitudes - Hecht 8514 Originalbetriebsanleitung

• For general use all year round, we recommend SAE 10W-30 HECHT 4T.
• For general use in winter it is recommended to use SAE 5W-40, HECHT 5W-40.
• Choose optimal oil viscosity that match the ambient temperature at which you are
going to operate the machine. DO NOT MIX OILSG!
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL AND ADDING
C Check the oil level only when the engine is off and cool. The machine must stand level.
1. Remove the oil filler cap / dipstick and dry it thoroughly.
2. Pull the plug of the oil filler cap/dipstick fully into the oil filler neck, but screw it. Then
remove it. After pulling out, read the oil level dipstick.

HIGHER ALTITUDES

• The engines operating at high altitudes (above 1600 meters above sea level) require the special
attention, because decrease of the fuel mixture saturation ratio to supersaturation. This
leads to the power loss and higher fuel consumption. For more information, contact an
authorized service center.
