ATTENTION
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. The
liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollu-
tion.
– 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 dispose
of the cloth according to local regulations.
– Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
1. Turn the oil dipstick (14) anticlockwise to unscrew it and
wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
2. Reinsert the oil dipstick (14) and check the oil level with-
out screwing the oil dipstick (14) tight again.
3. Pull the oil dipstick (14) out and read the oil level in the
horizontal position. The oil level must be positioned be-
tween the max. and min. of the oil dipstick (14).
4. Then screw the oil dipstick (14) in again.
15.3 Oil change
The engine oil change should be completed annually before
the start of the season while the engine is at operating tem-
perature and shut off.
Only use engine oil (SAE 10W-30/SAE 10W-40).
1. Unscrew the oil dipstick (14) by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Suck out the engine oil through the filler neck using an
oil pump (with hose).
3. Fill up with fresh engine oil and check the oil level (see
10.1).
15.4 Drain fuel with a fuel extraction pump
(Fig. 10)
1. Hold a collection bucket under the hose on the fuel ex-
traction pump.
2. Unscrew and remove the fuel filler cap (7).
3. Push the hose of the fuel extraction pump into the fuel
tank (8) and drain out the fuel tank completely using the
fuel extraction pump.
4. Retighten the fuel filler cap (7).
5. To ensure that no fuel remains in the carburettor, the re-
maining fuel must be drained out of the carburettor. To
do this, place a collection bucket under the carburettor
and open the carburettor screw (23) with the aid of an
open-end wrench AF10.
15.5 Maintenance of the air filter (9a)
(Fig. 14)
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even explode.
This can lead to severe burns or death.
– Only clean the air filter by knocking it out.
– Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable sol-
vents.

ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without a filter element or with a
damaged filter element can cause engine damage.
– Never run the engine without the air filter element or
with a damaged filter element. This would allow dirt in-
to the engine, which would result in severe damage to
the engine.
Fouled air filters (9a) diminish the engine output due to re-
duced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is
therefore essential.
The air filter (9a) should be checked every 25 operating
hours and cleaned as required. The air filter (9a) must be
checked more often in case of very dusty air.
1. Take off the air filter cover (9) and remove the air filter
(9a).
2. Clean the air filter (9a) only by knocking it out.
3. Replace a defective air filter (9a) with a new one.
4. Put the air filter (9a) back in place and replace the air fil-
ter cover (9).
15.6 Maintaining the spark plug (12a)
(Fig. 15+16)
Check the spark plug (12a) for contamination for the first
time after 10 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire
brush if necessary. Then maintain the spark plug (12a) every
50 operating hours.
1. Pull off the spark plug connector (12) with a twisting
motion.
2. Remove the spark plug (12a) with a spark plug wrench.
3. Use a feeler gauge to set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030").
Refit the spark plug (12a) and take care not to overtight-
en it.
15.7 Engine brake lever (2) (Fig. 1, 12)
The engine is equipped with a mechanical brake which has
to be checked regularly. When releasing the engine brake le-
ver (2), the blade (19) must come to a standstill within 7 sec-
onds.
A running blade (19) produces clearly perceptible wind nois-
es. The running of the blade (19) is signalled by the wind
noise generated and can thus be controlled.
NOTE
If you notice that the blade stopping device is not working
correctly, please contact the customer service or a spe-
cialist workshop.
Ensure that the product is in perfect condition for the entire
duration of its service life. Improper maintenance may cause
life-threatening injuries.
