Slacken off the locknut (27) and unscrew the adjusters
(26) to eliminate the play in the cable, which can occur
after initial use or normal wear. Be very careful not to
unscrew the adjusters (26) too much because this can

Oil changes
Changing the transmission oil
The oil must be replaced every 1000 hours with the en-
gine still warm. If necessary leave the engine running
for a short time.
• Place a suitable container with a minimum of 2 litre
capacity under the oil drain plug (see Fig.12 Pos.28).
• First, open the oil drain plug (28) and then the oil filler
neck (29) and leave the entire engine oil flow (Fig.13).
• Close the oil drain plug (28) again.
• fill 1,62 litres of clean transmission oil into the oil filler
neck (29). To do this, use a gear oil pump with hose.
Insert the hose through the opening in the oil filler
neck (see Fig.13).
Engine Oil
Check the oil level before each use. Remove the oil
dipstick (23) and check the machine in horizontal posi-
tion that the oil level is between the two marks. If nec-
essary, add oil.
Changing the engine oil
The oil must be replaced every 50 hours. For this the
motor must be warm and stopped. For this run engine
for a short time. Afterwards drain oil into a suitable con-
tainer. For this purpose remove the dipstick (Fig. 18
pos.23) and the oil drain plug (Fig. 18 pos.22). Maybe
take a suitable hose or tube to help. After the oil has
been completely drained mount the oil drain plug (22)
again, fill in new oil and close the oil filler cap (23).
Recommended engine oil
SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 (depending on applica-
tion temperature).
Dispose of waste oil properly at the local used oil col-
lection point. It is forbidden to discharge waste oil into
the ground or mixed with other waste.
Important hint in case of sending the equipment to
a service station:
