Changing the air filter
Clean the air filter regularly. Renew air filters if da-
maged.
1. Remove the air filter cover. For this, loosen
the bolt, and remove the cover.
2. Remove the foam filter, and wash it in warm
soapy water. Re-insert only when dry.
3. Put back the air filter cover.
Changing the oil
Check the oil level regularly.

commendations").
WARNING!

caped fuel!
The fuel tank must be drained before

3. Use a suitable container to catch the oil.
4. Unscrew the oil dipstick (9).
5. Unscrew the sump drain plug (8).
6. Allow the oil to run out completely into a con-
tainer.
7. Screw the sump drain plug (8) back in, ensure
that the seal is correctly positioned, and tigh-
ten firmly.
8. Fill with fresh oil.
9. Check on the oil dipstick (9) that the oil level
reaches the "MAX" mark.
10. Tighten the lid firmly, and remove any possi-
ble traces of spilt oil.
Dispose of old oil in an environmentally
safe manner.
Servicing the spark plug

Electric shock hazard!
Never test ignition sparks with the spark
