GASOLINE TILLER
Other areas:
Clean the rest of the machine with a cloth dampened in water. Never use gasoline, solvents, detergents,
water or any other liquids.
8.1.3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
- Place the machine on a horizontal, uncluttered flat surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the oil cap dipstick with a cloth.
- Insert the dipstick and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left by the 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 from the machine
or onto the ground).
8.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order to ensure effective operation of the machine and
prevent risk of injury to machine and user. Replacement parts should be purchased at the official service
dealer. The use of non-official spare parts may cause risk of accident, injury to the user and scrapping of the
machine.
Perform maintenance frequently as indicated in the following table:
