If the engine oil needs to be changed, follow these steps:
Run the engine for 1-2 minutes in order to warm up the
oil. Switch the engine off after the oil is warm. Place a
container underneath the engine. Remove oil filler cap
and oil drain plug (using a 10 mm spanner), then let the
oil drain into the container through the opening in the
chassis.
Screw the oil outlet drain plug back in and fill the engine with 1.4 litres of SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 through the
oil filler cap.
Recheck the oil level. It should be close to, but not above, the upper limit indicator on the dipstick. Screw the oil
filler cap back on. Dispose of the used engine oil in an environmentally sensitive way.
Belt tension
Correct belt tension is crucial for minimising belt wear and maximising machine efficiency. To check the belt tension, first ensure
the belt drive is disengaged by turning the engagement handle anticlockwise. Then, from the fully disengaged position, gently turn
the engagement handle clockwise until you feel it start to resist. From this position, turn the engagement handle clockwise. If the
tension is set correctly, the handle should turn one full revolution clockwise before coming to a stop. If there is a difference greater
than 1/6 of a revolution either clockwise or anticlockwise from one full revolution, then the belt tension should be corrected
following the ‘adjusting belt tension’ procedure.
Using two 24 mm spanners, unlock the two locking nuts from
above the adjustment block on the engagement handle by
turning the top nut anti clockwise and the bottom nut
clockwise. Then move both locking nuts upward along the
thread.
From the fully disengaged position, gently turn the
engagement handle clockwise until you feel it start to resist.
From this position, turn the engagement handle one full
revolution clockwise. This is the recommended tension for the
belt drive when in the fully engaged position.
