tities, checking the filling level constantly
to ensure that the "MAX" mark on the dip-
stick is not exceeded.

safe manner.

until it stops due to lack of fuel
2. Pull off spark plug cap (4-1)
3. Use a suitable container to collect the old oil
4. Unscrew the oil dipstick (7-1)
5. Unscrew drain plug (7-2)

7. Screw in drain plug (7-2) again, ensuring that
the gasket is positioned correctly, and screw
