Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 7)
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without engine oil. There-
fore, ensure that you add oil before starting it up.
Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40) for this.
The engine oil affects the performance and service life of
the product.
Use an engine oil for 4-stroke engines.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil
level that is too low can damage the motor.
1. Unscrew the oil dipstick (11).
2. Fill the engine oil tank using a funnel.
Observe the max fill level (see Technical Data).
Carefully fill the engine oil up to the lower edge of the
filling nozzle.
3. Wipe the oil dipstick (11) with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4. Reinsert the oil dipstick (11) without screwing the oil
dipstick (11) back on.
5. Pull the oil dipstick (11) out and read the oil level in
the horizontal position. The oil level must be within the
mark on the oil dipstick (11).
6. If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of engine oil (see Technical Data).
7. Then screw the oil dipstick (11) in again.
9.2
Filling in fuel (Fig. 8)
• Switch off the engine and let it cool down.
• Keep heat, flames and sparks away.
• Only fill up with fuel outdoors.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Avoid using old or contaminated fuel and do not use
fuel-oil mixtures.
• Make sure that no dirt or water gets into the fuel tank.
• Start the product at a distance of at least 3 m from the
fuel filling point.
Note:
Check the fuel level every time before commissioning.
ATTENTION
The product is delivered without fuel. It is
therefore essential to fill with fuel before
commissioning.
1. Clean the tank cover (5a) and the area around the fill-
ing nozzle to prevent dirt or foreign objects from enter-
ing the fuel tank (5).
2. Carefully open the tank cover (5a) so that any possi-
ble overpressure can be relieved.
3. Check the fuel level by visual inspection.
