Engine oil inspection, replacement, lubrication
Inspection
Use the oil inlet plug with its attached level gauge to check the quality
and quantity of the engine oil. Perform this inspection before every
use or after every 8 hours of operation.
Make sure that engine oil is always at the maximum level on the
level gauge. Inspect with the engine horizontal and do not screw
in the dipstick.
Replacement/Lubrication
Replace engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation and roughly
every 50 hours thereafter.
However, we recommend changing the engine oil earlier if severe
loads are placed on the machine, if you are working in a hot
environment, or if you are using the machine for many hours
continuously.
1.
Place the machine on a flat surface in order to keep the engine horizontal when adjusting
the cutting height.
2.
Prepare a suitable container in which to receive oil . Remove the oil inlet plug and then
remove the drain plug from the back of the engine with a tool.
3.
After the oil has been removed, securely return the drain plug to its original position.
4.
Put in new engine oil while referring to page 13. (For oil quantity, please refer to page 33 for
Specifications.)
5.
After filling with engine oil, securely reattach the oil inlet plug so that oil does not leak out.
