    Carry out these operations together with those to be performed every 50 HOURS and every 250 HOURS.

    DANGER!

    When changing the engine oil, change also the filter.

    Proceed as follows:

    This operation must be carried out at every oil change. Proceed as follows:

    Start the engine, make sure that there are no leakages and that the oil pressure warning light goes out.

    IMPORTANT

    Do not use the spanner to lock the filter, since it may be damaged and cause oil leakages.

    CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL FILTER

    DANGER!

    The filter is positioned on the hydraulic system drain outlet and blocks the metal particles that come off the various components due to their wear.

    Use a 17 mm hexagon spanner.
