- Once all of the oil has been drained, put the drain
plug back in the machine.
- Empty the engine oil into a suitable container so
that you can carry it to a proper clean point.
Filling the oil sump:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Insert the filled 0, 6l of oil tube.
- Wait 1 minute for the oil to completely go down to
the crankcase.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt the
machine and let out a little oil (put a container
at the end of the tube to prevent oil spilling on the
machine or the ground).
8.2.3. CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
When it comes to starting a machine, the most
common problems are produced by a dirty spark plug
or one in poor condition. Clean and check the spark
plug regularly.
Check that the electrode gap is correct (0.6 - 0.7
mm).
8.2.4.CLEANING THE CYLINDER FINS
The cylinder fins are responsible for the cooling of the
engine due to its contact with the air. These fins must
be clean and without any material including those that
limit the flow of air.
A few dirty fins will make the motor to overheat and
can be dangerous. Check the condition of the cylinder
fins regularly.
For the rest of maintenance work, take the machine to
your nearest service agent.
