5.8 Engine Oil
See Graphic: wc_gr002217
Engine oil level
Stop the machine, apply the parking brake, and switch off the engine.
Check the oil level with the machine standing on a level surface.
5.8.1 Clean around the dipstick.
5.8.2 Extract the dipstick (a) and check the oil level. The oil level should be
between the two notches on the dipstick. Add oil through oil filler cap
(b) if needed so that the oil reaches the maximum level mark.
CAUTION: Only use oil which meets the standards specified in the
table of recommended lubricants.
Oil consumption in the first 100 hours is higher than normal. During this
period it is therefore advisable to check the oil level at least twice daily
and top up when necessary.
Engine oil and filter change
Stop the machine, apply the parking brake and switch off the engine.
The machine must be level.
Change the oil when the engine is still warm. Warm oil drains more
easily.
Danger of burns! Care must be taken when draining hot engine oil. Hot
oil can burn!
5.8.3 Open the engine hood.
5.8.4 Detach the drain hose (c) from the frame.
5.8.5 Drain off the used oil into a suitable container.
Note: Collect, store and dispose of all old oil in accordance with
current environmental protection regulations.
5.8.6 Refit the drain hose to the frame.
5.8.7 Unscrew the filter cartridge (d) and remove it.
Note: Dispose of used filters in accordance with environmental
protection regulations.
5.8.8 Clean the filter housing base and apply a thin coat of engine oil to the
seal of the new oil filter.
5.8.9 Install the new filter and tighten by hand. When the seal contacts the
base, tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn.

Clean the oil filler cap and replace.
