10.6 Oil level check
Attention: The engine oil affects the lawn mower‘s
efficiency and life span. Never operate the engine
without oil or with little oil. Major engine damage
can occur. The optimum viscosity depends on
where the lawn mower is used (air temperature
and altitude) and can be found in the engine
owners manual.
Checking Oil level:
Observe the notes and instructions in the type-
speci.c engine operating instructions.
• Place lawn mower
horizontally with all
wheels on the ground.
• Turn oil tank cap
counter-clock-wise
(14), and remove.
Wipe off dipstick.
• Place dipstick back
into filler pipe.
• Remove dipstick, hold horizontally and read oil
level. Oil level has to be between the
"MAXIMUM" and "MINIMUM" markings.
Changing Oil
The engine oil may be drained via the oil drain
screw or the oil filler opening. Blade and blower
wheel need to be removed to reach the oil drain
screw (illustration 9). Observe especially the
service instructions in the separate engine owners
manual.
When draining via oil filler opening (14): Tilt the
warm mower (with fuel tank empty and closed oil
filler ) slowly over the side of the filler opening.
Remove oil filler cap and catch old oil in a
container. Wait several minutes until oil is drained.
Dispose off the old oil in accordance with local
ordinances.
After changing oil, always wash hands with a
scouring agent, soap and water.
Attention: Never simply throw away used engine
oil and gear lubricant (environmental protection).
Collect used oil in authorized containers and
submit to the proper recycling facility.
