Fuel
NOTE:
Petrol deteriorates over time. Engine starting may be difficult if you use
petrol kept for more than
30
days.
1. Empty the fuel tank (

30
days to prevent the fuel
deteriorating.
2. Place a suitable container under the fuel drain screw (
13
) to collect the fuel.

) as described in the section “Fuel and engine
oil – Fuel.”
Checking engine oil
NOTE:
Check the oil level and quality before each use.
The oil must be replaced after every 6 months or after
50
hours of operation.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil tank cap (
17
).
2. Gradually add good-quality engine oil (
SAE 10W-30
). Allow the oil to settle.
3. Check the oil level frequently while filling. Wipe off oil dipstick and insert it into the
tank opening without tightening the cap, and then remove the dipstick again.
4. The oil level must be between the oil level markings (approx.
400
ml). Add more oil
if necessary. Do not overfill.
