Checking the engine oil level
Before each operation and after 8 op-
erating hours!
l
Only with the engine shut off and in
horizontal position.
l
Clean the oil fill plug (A/4) and its im-
mediate surrounding.
l
Remove the oil fill plug, clean the dip-
stick with a clean rag and re-insert it all
the way – do not screw it in.
l
Remove the dip-stick and read the oil
level.
l
Refill oil, if the oil level is below the
lower dip-stick mark. Refill engine oil
(see “Specifications”) up to upper level
mark on dip-stick.
Changing the engine oil
For the first time after 5 operating hours, after that after
every 50 operating hours or annually (whatever comes first).
Under high loads or in high environmental temperatures, change
the oil already after 25 operating hours.
Only change oil while the engine is still warm, but not hot
- danger of burns!
l
Drain and filler plug (A/4).
l
To drain the oil, pivot the steering handle upwards. Tilt the
power hoe backwards and to the left. Then drain the oil into a
suitable container (fig. M). (We recommend to drain the fuel
into a fuel can before draining the oil).
Alternatively, use a suction pump to pump the oil from the ma-
chine.
l
Dispose of the waste oil properly!
l
Fill in fresh engine oil. Oil filling capacity and quality see
specifications.
Fill in the oil using a funnel or similar device where ever possi-
ble.
