►
Old oil must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner or
handed in to an authorised collection point.
♦
Screw the oil drain screw back in.
♦
Pour new oil slowly into the opening on the oil inlet .
Fill the oil slowly so that air bubbles can escape.
See technical specifications for oil type and fill quantity.
Engine
CAUTION!
►
Switch off the appliance immediately and contact customer service:
–
If you notice unusual vibrations or noises.
–
If the engine seems overloaded or misfires.
■
Keep all protective equipment, air vents and the engine housing as free
of dust and dirt as possible. Wipe the appliance with a clean cloth or
blow it out with low-pressure compressed air.
■
We recommend cleaning the appliance after every use.
■
Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and a little soft soap.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these can damage
the plastic surfaces of the appliance. Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the interior of the appliance.
Air filter
■
Clean the air filter regularly; replace if necessary.
■
To do this, open the air filter by removing the wing nut and then
pulling out the air filter .
■
Remove the filter elements.
■
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or petrol to clean these
elements.
■
Clean the elements by knocking them out on a flat surface. In the event
of severe soiling, wash with a soap solution and then rinse in clear
water and allow to dry.
■
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
Spark plug
Check the spark plug/spark plug connector for the first time after
20 operating hours for contamination and clean if necessary with a wire
brush. Afterwards, service the spark plug after every 50 hours of opera-
tion.
♦
Pull of the spark plug connector with a twisting motion.
♦
Remove the spark plug with the supplied spark plug spanner.
♦
Assembly is done in the reverse order.
Oil change
The engine oil should be changed with the engine at operating temperature.
♦
Use only engine oil (15W40).
♦
Place the appliance on a suitable underlay tilted slightly towards the
oil drain screw.
♦
Open the oil inlet screw .
♦
Open the oil drain screw and let the warm oil run out into a container.
♦
After draining the waste oil, close the oil drain screw and set the
appliance level again.
♦
Fill up with engine oil to the upper marking on the dipstick (approx.
0.6 l).
CAUTION!
►
Do not screw in the dipstick (oil inlet screw) to check the oil level.
Insert it only as far as the thread.
■
Waste oil must be disposed of properly.
Automatic oil switch-off
The automatic oil switch-off activates if there is too little engine oil and
switches the engine off. If this happens, the engine cannot be restarted or
switches off again after a short while. A restart is only possible after the
oil has been topped up (see section "Oil change, checking the oil level
(before each use)").
Preparation for storage
■
Empty the fuel tank using a petrol suction pump.
■
Start the engine and leave it running until the remaining petrol has been
used up.
■
Change the oil after every season. To do this, drain the old engine oil
from the warm engine and refill with new oil.
■
Remove the spark plug . Use an oil can to fill approx. 20 ml oil in the
cylinder. Pull the pull starter slowly so that the oil coats the inside of
the cylinder. Screw the spark plug back in.
■
Store the appliance in a well-ventilated location.
Preparation for transport

Empty the fuel tank into a suitable container using a petrol suction
pump.
■
If still operational, leave the engine running until the remaining petrol
has been used up.
