5.2 Engine oil
5.2.1 Oil change:
Drain the oil while the engine is still warm to assure rapid and complete
draining.
1. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug to drain the oil.
2. Install the drain plug, and tighten it securely.
3. Refill with the recommended oil and check oil level.
4. Install the oil filter cap.
Place machine in horizontal position before checking engine oil level.
Take notice: Please pay attention to the corresponding environmental
laws when disposing of used engine oil. We recommend you carry the
oil in a container to a central collecting point for used oils. Do not pour
used engine oil into the garbage nor into the sewer system, waste
pipes or even on the ground.
5.3 Air filter
Air filter service
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburettor. To prevent
carburettor malfunction, service the air filter regularly. Service more
freqently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
Warning: Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning
the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
Caution: Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
wear will result.
