Checking The Fuel Tank Level - Zipper Maschinen ZI-MD500HSN Betriebsanleitung

A too low oil level will cause damage to the engine and shorten the service life of
the machine. Therefore, check the motor oil level before every start and if necessary
fill up with oil.
12.4.2

Checking the fuel tank level

Follow the safety instructions for fuel control. Filter the fuel before refuelling
to prevent foreign particles from entering the combustion chamber. Wipe up spilled
fuel.

N O T I C E
1. To check the engine oil level, place the machine on a
flat, level surface. Switch off the motor and wait for ten
minutes to allow the circulating oil to collect in the oil
pan.
2. Unscrew the oil-dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free
cloth or a non-fibrous paper towel.
3. Push the dipstick back into the opening as far as
possible, but do not screw it in. (Make sure that the
dipstick is really pushed in completely - occasionally it
gets jammed).
4. Pull out the oil dipstick again and check the oil level.
There are two markings for this - see illustration on the
left.
5. If the oil level is low, fill up the recommended oil to the
upper rim at the maximum (maximum filling volume:
see technical data: do not overfill!)
6. Insert the oil dipstick again and retighten it.
7. Wipe away oil residues.
N O T I C E
1. Refuelling only outdoors!
2. Before removing the fuel tank cap, turn the motor off
and let the machine cool down.
3. Clean the fuel tank cap area.
4. Remove the fuel tank cap carefully.
5. Visual check of the filling level.
6. If necessary, refill with fuel.
7. Fuel tank capacity: see technical data. Fill tank only up
to 1.5 cm below the rim of the filler neck, so that the
fuel has place for expansion.
NOTICE: use fuel with the appropriate octane number
(RON 95).
8. Replace and tighten the fuel tank cap.
9. Wipe any fuel residues and wait until it evaporates.
