To clean the product
• Remove concrete from the surfaces of the product
after each operation before the concrete becomes
hard.
• Use a high-pressure washer to clean the product.
CAUTION: Do not point the water
directly at the fuel tank cap, electrical
components or the engine.
• Use solvent to clean mechanical parts.
• Remove grease and oil from the handle.
To do a check of the engine oil level
1. Remove the oil tank cap and dipstick.
2. Clean the oil from the dipstick.
3. Put the dipstick back fully into the oil tank.
4. Remove the dipstick.
5. Examine the oil level on the dipstick.
6. If the oil level is low, fill with engine oil and do a
check of the oil level again. Refer to
on page 23
or the engine manual for the correct
type of oil.
To replace the engine oil
If the engine is cold, start the engine for 1–2 minutes
before you drain the engine oil. This makes the engine
oil warm and easier to drain.
WARNING: Engine oil is very hot directly
after the engine stops. Let the engine
become cool before you drain the engine oil.
If you spill engine oil on your skin, clean with
soap and water.
