Changing the oil
(Figure 3)
Check oil level regularly.
Check oil level every 8 operating hours or daily prior to
starting the engine (see oil recommendations).
Warning!
The fuel tank must be emptied before draining the
oil. Fire and explosion hazard is created through
leaking fuel if instruction not observed.
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm.
Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
1. To drain the fuel tank, let the engine run until it runs
out of petrol.
2. Remove spark plug cap (Component index, Item 6).
3. Place a suitable container under the engine to catch
the oil.
4. Screw out the dip stick (Component index, Item 5).
5. Tilt the engine towards the container so that the oil
can drain fully from the drain opening (G).
6. Place engine back into the horizontal position.
7. Fill with new oil (SAE 10W-30, quantity: 0.55 l).
8. Screw in dip stick.
Dispose responsibly of used oil.
