11.1
Changing / draining the oil. (Fig. 9)
The oil drain plug is located under the dipstick, at the base of the engine.
Have a container ready to catch the oil and remove the drain plug.
Once the oil has been emptied, replace the drain plug.
Make sure that the washer is in place and wipe any spillages.
Start the engine and allow it to run briefly. Stop the engine, wait one minute and check the oil
level. Top up if necessary.
11.2
Draining the fuel tank / carburetor (Fig. 10)
Place an approved gasoline container below the carburettor, and use a funnel to avoid
spilling fuel.
Remove the drain bolt, then move the fuel valve lever to the ON position.
After all the fuel has drained into the container, reinstall the drain bolt and washer. Tighten
the drain bolt securely.
11.3
Spark plug (Fig. 11)
Allow the engine to cool down.
Remove the spark plug using the box spanner supplied, clean the plug with a wire brush. Set
the gap to 0.75 mm ( 0.030") using a feeler gauge.
Refit the spark plug taking care not to overtighten it.
Use only correct type spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of
use.
11.4
To clean air filter (Fig. 12)
Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element. (To avoid objects falling
into the air intake, replace the air filter cover).
11.5
Cleaning the mower housing
Dirt deposits make the start difficult, affect the quality of the cut and the discharge of the grass.
Dirt and grass residues are easiest to remove immediately after the mowing. To avoid fouling
the floor, the underside must be cleaned on the grass.
Remove the mulching plug / grass catcher.
Fit the hose connector to the lawn mower and turn on the water tap.
Start the lawn mower and switch it off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade
bar will throw the water onto the underside of the lawn mower and thus clean it.
Turn off the water tap and remove the hose connector.
Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).
