First off have you filled it with 5W30 grade oil? If not I would suggest an oil change...
The next course of action to try is fill the oil to the max then add an extra 2 litres - if it fires up then you need to change the oil strainer in the sump. If this doesnt work then drain the extra oil out (if it does work fit a new strainer and refill oil to max level).
