Problem (reported from engineer in the field):

I made already an oil change on a Lotem, but didn't get the oil easily drained, it just came out drop by drop. But it was switched off. What's right??

Solution:

Oil exchange - the oil level must not be lower than the middle of the oil indicator [4] and should reach up to 2/3 of this indicator, up to 1 liter.

Note: Oil exchange at least once every 6 months.

Drain - The oil must be warm in order to drain the oil faster. Therefore you must activate the pump for 20 minutes prior to the oil exchange.
