With the engine off, unscrew the tank cap.
When the vehicle is not loaded, the oil level in the tank should be at the height of the mesh bottom or higher by a maximum of 5 mm.
For topping up, use only Pentosin CHF 11 S or, if unavailable, LF1M oil.
After each top-up, start the engine and turn the steering wheel 2 times to the left and right until it stops to release air from the system.
Stop the engine and after 2 minutes check the oil level and adjust if necessary.
