8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the
performance of the machine. Check and clean this
element.
Note: The engine should never function without
the air filter installed.
8.2.2. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still
hot.
WARNING! You must not throw old
oil in a pipeline network or on the Earth.
The contamination of groundwater and
water tables is subject to heavy fines. There are
special collection places at service stations. If not,
any municipal authority will give you the relevant
information.
Note: You have two procedures at your disposition to
empty the engine oil. You can drain the oil
by loosening the drain screw (Y2) located at the base
of the filling canal or you can use the Garland engine
oil cleaner (ref.: 7199000020, not included with the
machine, which can be found at your nearest Garland
dealer) and suck the oil through the filling tube (Y1) of
the machine. For easy implementation, cleaning and
safety we recommend that you pick up the oil.
To change the oil:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
Empty the engine oil:
- If it sucks the used oil: remove the engine oil plug
(Y1) and vacuum the motor oil by inserting the
Garland vacuum cleaner tube (REF.: 7199000020,
not included with machine) to the bottom.
- If you choose to empty the drain (Y2) through the
drain plug, please note the trajectory that the oil
will take into the chassis, place a large container to
catch all of the oil before it spills on the ground.
- We recommend that you put a big plastic covering
on the area in which you will change the oil so that
oil does not fall on the ground. Once the work area
is prepared, remove the filling cap (Y1) and remove
the (Y2) oil drain plug and slightly tilt the machine
so that the oil comes out and falls into the
container.
- Once all of the oil has been drained, put the drain
plug back in the machine.
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).
