Further details about replacing oil as well as its type and amount are included in a separate
user‘s manual supplied by the engine‘s manufacturer.
If you come into contact with used oil, we recommend that you thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water.
Dispose of used oil according to environment protection laws. It is appropriate to deliver
the oil in a closed container to a used oil collection point. Under no circumstances should
dispose of the used oil with other waste or pour it down the drain, on to waste or on the
floor.
 MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without an air filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
Maintain the air filter according to the instructions contained in the user‘s manual for the
engine supplied by its manufacturer.
 MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG
For the engine to run perfectly the spark plug must be correctly set and clean from deposits.
Always use only the spark plug specified by the engine’s manufacturer!
If the engine was running shortly before the inspection or replacement, then the spark plug
will be very hot. So be very careful not to burn yourself.

Take off the spark plug cable and remove the spark plug using a wrench
key.

Visually inspect the exterior appearance of the spark plug. If the spark
plug is visibility significantly worn out or if the insulator is cracked or it is
peeling, it is necessary to replace it.

If the spark plug is soiled or only slightly worn, it is necessary to carefully
clean it with a suitable wire brush (copper).

Using a gauge measure set the distance of the electrodes (
User’s manual for the engine ).
 After performing maintenance on or replacing the spark plug, pull it tight in
position. An incorrectly tightened spark plug heats up significantly and may
cause serious damage to the engine.
Check, maintain and replace spark plugs according to the instructions contained in the
user‘s manual for the engine supplied by its manufacturer.

REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTER

 MAINTENANCE OF THE ENGINE COOLING
Before each use or during work check that the grill on the engine is not clogged with grass remains or
other objects. Clean the grill if necessary!

areas and the cooling fins of the engine. This will avoid the engine from overheating or being damaged.
Clean more frequently if necessary.
