Description
Adding Oil
ATTENTION!
Checking the oil level accurately is possible only
when the mower is parked on as level a surface as
possible. Deviations up to 3% incline are within an
acceptable range. Change the oil after very 25
hours of operation in order to avoid engine
damage.
Use only oil recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
Environmental Protection
Be careful when handling fuel and oil to make sure
nothing ends up in the environment.
Recycle residual fuel and used oil responsibly.
Proceed as follows to add oil:
1. Pour
500 ml
(for
HM
models) or
600 ml
(for
PM
models) of oil into the infill spout using a funnel.
2. Replace the oil fill cap on the infill spout.
3. Remove the oil fill cap from the infill spout (6) again
and check the level on the dipstick (6). The oil level
should be close to MAX (7). A correct oil level
should always fall between MAX (7) and MIN (8).
4. Replace the infill spout cap (6) and hand-tighten it.
Note the notches in the infill spout.
Adding Fuel
WARNING!
Danger of explosion! Petrol is highly flammable and
petrol vapours can easily explode! Turn off the
engine. Refuel only in open spaces. Keep a 5-metre
radius from fire or open flame. No smoking. Never
refuel when the engine is warm.
1.
Park the mower on a somewhat level surface. Let
the engine cool before refuelling.
2.
Remove heavy soil around the filler cap (9) before
opening. Open the filler cap (9).
3.
Add unleaded regular fuel (91 octane) using a
safety spout or a funnel. Maintain the maximum
fuel capacity recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
4.
Make sure that there is sufficient air to allow
dissipation of fuel fumes.
Always keep away from shaken/foaming fuel. Do not
mix oil with fuel. Close the filler cap by hand-tightening
it.
