-   Calibrated oil-level dipstick for the TAD730GE / TAD731GE lubrication system
-   Designed for the original guide tube and oil-pan depth
-   Used with sealing ring 20412343 at the adjoining lubrication-system connection
-   Oil level must be checked with the engine and machine positioned as specified
-   A bent, shortened or incorrect dipstick can produce a false oil-level reading
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta 7-litre six-cylinder industrial diesel

## 🔌 Function

Provides a direct visual measurement of the engine-oil level in the sump.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil level cannot be read clearly
-   Dipstick bent, cracked or damaged
-   Incorrect oil reading compared with the specified fill quantity
-   Dipstick will not seat fully in the guide tube
-   Oil leakage or contamination around the dipstick opening

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Wipe the dipstick clean before every check, and take the reading with the boat at its normal attitude and following the procedure in the operator's manual for your engine
-   Push it fully home to its stop so the marks read correctly, and make sure the seal or grommet at the top seats — one not pushed home lets oil mist out and dirt in
-   Fit only the dipstick listed for your engine, as length and mark position are matched to the sump; a substitute will give a false level
-   Renew one that is bent, kinked or has worn or unreadable marks, and check the tube is clear and secure in its bracket
