Check the engine oil level
WARN IN G
ATTENTION!
For transport motor oil has been drained. Fill up with 4-stroke quality motor
oil before first operation! Failure to do so will result in permanent motor damage and void
guarantee!
N OTICE
A too low oil level will cause damage to the engine and shorten the service life of the ma-
chine. Therefore, check the motor oil level before every start and if necessary fill up with oil.
•
To check the engine oil level, place the ma-
chine on a flat, level surface. Switch off the
motor and wait for ten minutes to allow the
circulating oil to collect in the oil pan.
•
Unscrew the oil infill bolt and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth or a non-fibrous paper
towel.
