Checking the oil level

CAUTION!

Never run the engine with no or too lit-

tle oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine.

Use only SAE30 engine oil.

Checking the oil level (Fig. 18):

•

Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.

•

Unscrew the oil dip stick (12) by turning anticlock

wise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip stick back in

the filling mount as far as the stop, but do not screw

back in.

• Pull out the dip stick (12) again and read off the oil

level while holding horizontally. The oil level must

be between the maximum and the minimum

Changing the oil

•

Change the engine oil every year before the start of

the season when the engine is warm.

•

Use only engine oil (SAE30).

•

Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol suction pump)

•

Place a flat oil drip tray in front of the mower (min.

volume 1 Liter).

• Remove the dipstick and tip over the mower untill

the whole oil is run out into the oil drip tray.

• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the

dipstick (approx. 0,4 l).

• Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check

the oil level – only insert it as far as the thread.

Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable
regulations.

Cleaning the belts (Fig. 17, 19)

•

Remove the knife and the gear housing by loosen

ing the screws out.

• Clean the elements of the transmission and the belt

once or twice a year with brush or compressed air.

• Screw the transmission housing and the knife on

again.

Care and adjustment of the cables

Oil the cables at regular intervals and check that they
move easily.

Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 20)

A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the

engine because it will prevent enough air getting to
the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular

checks are made. The air filter should be checked
every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the air is
very dusty the air filter should be checked more regu

larly.
