5. How to Inspect and Service Parts
1) Oiled Parts inspection, Change, and refill
●
When this machine is shipped, it is not lubricated with oil. Before operating the machine, be sure
to check that it is lubricated with the described oil, in the described parts, and in the described
quantities.
●
To always operate this machine in good condition, perform oil changes periodically.
●
When performing inspection, replacement, or lubrication of oiled parts, place the machine on a
flat, open surface. Switch on the engine and warm it up to confirm it is working properly. Then
switch off the engine, allow it to cool down and remove the spark plug cord.
After switching off, please wait at least 10 minutes for all parts to cool down sufficiently before you
touch the machine. After the engine has stopped, the body will be very hot and can cause burns
if touched. Furthermore, oil will still be in the engine and mission so the quantity of oil remaining
will not be exactly displayed.
●
After changing the oil, please dispose of waste oil appropriately.

there is any oil in the transmission by looking through the oil gauge
gauge window [A].
Note:
Be careful not to over-tighten the fuel cap. Please rotate the gasket
ring three quarters (3/4) of a turn after it has made contact with the
surface.
Oil Change
Replace oil after the first 20 hours of operation and every 100
hours from then on.
Empty the oil by releasing the drain plug located near to the left side
axel on the transmission case.

Engine oil inspection, change and refill
●
When performing engine oil lubrication or replacement, wait for at least 10 minutes for the engine
to cool down and proceed with caution to avoid burns.
Inspection
Use the dipstick to check the oil level and quality.
If the oil does not lie between the upper level and lower level, replenish to bring the oil up to the upper
level. Take care not to over fill with oil.
When measuring with the dipstick, do not screw it in place.(GXV340)
