- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
The engine oil change should be carried out while the
engine (10) is at operating temperature and switched
off.
1. Place the machine on a level, even surface.
2. Place a suitable collection container (not included
in the scope of delivery) under the oil drain screw
(12).
3. Use an open-end spanner size 10 mm (not includ-
ed in the scope of delivery) to open the oil drain
screw (12) and drain the engine oil.
4. After you have drained the engine oil completely,
tighten the oil drain screw (12) again.
5. Now unscrew the oil dipstick (13) anti-clockwise.
6. Fill up with fresh engine oil and check the oil level
(see 10.2.).
7. Then screw the oil dipstick (13) back in clockwise.
11.3 Air filter maintenance (3) (Fig. 16)
m DANGER!
Risk of fire and explosion!
If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even ex-
plode. This can lead to severe burns or death.
- Clean the air filter only by knocking out or blowing
out with compressed air.
- Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable
solvents.
NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without the filter element in
place can cause engine damage.
- Never run the engine without the air filter element
in place.
A fouled air filter diminishes the engine output due to
reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspec-
tion is therefore essential.
The air filter should be checked every 100 operating
hours and cleaned as required.
1. Remove the air filter housing cover (3c).
2. Remove the air filter inserts and check these for
damage.
3. Replace any damaged insert. Wipe off dirt on the
inside of the filter housing with a clean moist cloth.
Make sure that no direct enters the opening.
4. Remove the foam filter (3b) from the paper filter
(3a). Check it for damage and replace it if neces-
sary. Clean the foam filter (3b) with a mild soapy
solution.
5. Blow out the paper filter (3a) from the inside to
the outside with compressed air. Do not rub dirt
off the paper filter (3a). This can result in damage.
6. Place the foam filter (3b) on the paper filter (3a).
7. Close the air filter housing cover (3c).
Never run the engine (10) without an air filter or with
a damaged air filter insert. This would allow dirt into
the engine (10), which would result in severe damage
to the engine. The manufacturer is not responsible for
the resulting damages; the user solely bears the risk.
11.4 Cleaning / replacing the spark plug (22a)
(Fig. 17, 18)
m ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when
the engine is cold!
Check the spark plug (22a) for contamination for the
first time after 25 operating hours and clean it with a
copper wire brush if necessary.
Thereafter, replace the spark plug (22a) every 100
operating hours or if necessary.
1. Disconnect the spark plug connector (22) and re-
move any dirt in the spark plug area.
2. Unscrew the spark plug (22a) with the supplied
spark plug wrench (G) and check this.
3. Check the insulation. Replace the spark plug
(22a) if it is damaged, e.g. cracked or fragmented.
4. Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush.
5. Check the electrode gap and adjust it using a
feeler gauge (not included in the scope of deliv-
ery). To make sure that the engine (10) remains
efficient, the spark plug (22a) must have the right
electrode gap (0.7-0.8 mm).
6. Screw the spark plug (22a) back in by hand and
tighten it about 1/4 turn with the spark plug wrench
(G).
7. Place the spark plug connector (22) on the spark
plug (22a).
m ATTENTION!
A loose spark plug can overheat and cause damage
to the engine. If you tighten the spark plug too much,
the thread in the cylinder head may be damaged.
11.5 Lubricating the tamping system (Fig. 10)
Check the oil level every time before commissioning.
See 10.3 Lubricating the tamper system.
11.6 Changing the tamper system oil (Fig. 10)
1. Place the machine on a level, even surface. Tilt
the machine so that a right angle is formed to the
floor.
2. Tilt the machine back until it rests on the guide
bar (15).
3. Place a suitable collection container (not included
in the scope of delivery) under the machine.
