Change engine oil
Change engine oil after the first 20 hours of operation.
Later change it every 200 hours
Best time for engine oil change is approx. 15 minutes after a longer operation, the oil should be
lube warm then.
To drain the old oil, first unfasten the oil drain plug (5) and oil filler dipstick (4) at the bottom side
of the engine assembly.
When draining the old oil, catch it in a bin.
Fill in the new engine oil
Clean air filter
A polluted air filter makes it very hard to start the engine, it impairs the
engine output and leads to engine malfunctions.
It shortens the engines lifespan and in extreme cases it can ruin the
engine within short time.
So take care to have your air filter kept clean at every time!
To clean the air filter, unfasten the wing nut, remove the air filter cap,
remove the froth mantle and the air filter.
Clean both mechanically (with a brush).
Wipe both thoroughly with a solvent composed of 3 parts diesel and one part motor oil.
Drain motor oil onto the filter, remove excessive motor oil by wringing it out.
Clean spark plug
Remove the spark plug and clean it with a brush from debris. The
contact should be 0,6-0,8mm.
ATTENTION!
Dispose of the old oil in an
environmentally friendly way!
NOTE
Let the engine never run without or with a damaged air filter. Dirt gets so into the engine and
can causing severe engine damage. In this case retailers and manufacturers dissociate from
any warranty.
