Engine
Check engine oil level
Each time before you take up opera-
tion and after every 5 operating
hours!
l
Check only with engine shut off and
in horizontal position.
l
Clean the oil filler plug (A/18) and its
surrounding parts.
l
Remove the oil filler plug. Clean the
oil-dipstick with a clean cloth and put it
all the way back in. Remove the oil 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.
Change Engine Oil
The first oil change is after 5 operat-
ing hours. Subsequent oil changes are
after 50 operating hours or once a year,
depending on which period is completed
first, while the engine is still warm, but
not hot – danger of burns! At extreme
strain and high temperatures, change oil
after 25 operating hours.
l
Remove drain plug and filler plug
(A/18).
l
To drain the oil, move the steering
handle up, tilt the power hoe to the left
rear and pour the oil into a proper con-
tainer (Before you do this we recom-
mend draining the fuel tank through the
filler neck into a petrol can)
or use a suction pump to suck out the
old oil through the oil filler neck.
l
Dispose of old oil properly!
l
Fill fresh engine oil. For oil filling quantity and quality, re-
fer to chapter “Specifications”.
If possible, use a funnel or similar device to fill in oil.
