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 disposal
to empty the engine oil. You can drain the oil by
loosening the drain screw 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 of the
machine (Y1). For easy implementation, cleaning, and
safety, we recommend that you clean the oil.
To change the oil:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Empty the engine oil:
(a) If it sucks the used oil: remove the engine oil
plug and vacuum the motor oil (Y1) by inserting
the Garland vacuum cleaner tube (REF.:
7199000020, not included with machine) to the
bottom.
b) If you choose to empty the drain through the
drain plug (Y2), please note the trajectory that the
oil will take when falling into the chassis of the
lawnmower, 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
in 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 oil drain plug and slightly tilt the
lawnmower so that the oil comes out and falls into the
container.
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).
