1.
Thoroughly clean fluid reservoir and its immediate
surroundings
2.
Check and correct fill level
Note: The fill level can come to rest above the "MAX" mark
when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This is
dictated by the design in that the marking on the dipstick is
referred to a fluid temperature of 20
°
C. With the engine at
normal operating temperature (approx. 50-60
°
C fluid
temperature) adjust a fill height 10 mm above the "MAX"
mark. Do not under any circumstances draw off the fluid to
the "MAX" mark when the engine is at normal operating
temperature.
