Apart from adhering to operating instructions for multi-purpose machines, it is
also important to observe the following maintenance instructions.
Warning: Only do maintenance work with the engine
shut off. Always remove spark plug connector from spark
plug, to avoid accidentally starting the engine while working
on the machine or on the engine.
Always wear safety gloves, when working near mowing knives.
Engine
Checking Oil Level
l Each time you take up operation and af-
ter every 5 operating hours.
l Check only with engine switched off and
machine in horizontal position.
l Clean oil filler plug (B/11) and surrounding
parts.
l Unscrew oil filler plug.
l Oil level must reach the filling opening.
l Refill oil, if oil level is lower than described
(see “Specifications”). – Do not overfill!
l Screw oil filler plug back in and tighten.
Changing Engine Oil
The first oil change is after 5 operating hours. Subsequent oil
changes are after 50 operating hours or once a year, depending
on which period is completed first. At extreme strain and high tem-
peratures, change oil after 25 operating hours.
l Open the drain plug (1) and the filling plug (2) and drain the
oil into a suitable container or
use a suction pump to remove the oil through the filler neck.
l Ensure the waste oil is disposed of properly!
l Before you retighten the drain plug (1) inspect the condition
of the sealing ring (3). Replace it if necessary.
l Fill fresh engine oil into the oil filling opening. Refer to Speci-
fications for oil quantity and quality. Use a funnel or a similar
device to fill the oil reservoir.
l Replace the oil filler plug (2) and tighten it.
Only change oil while the engine is still warm, but not hot – dan-
ger of burns!
