Cleaning The Tiller; Changing The Oil; Air Filter Maintenance - Texas LX450TG Bedienungsanleitung

The choke is not required if the motor is hot.
3. Pull the start cord to start the motor. Always feed the start cord back into the motor by
hand.
4. When the motor is started, set the choke to minimum (fully to the right) Engage the
throttle slightly.
Stopping the engine
1. SОt thО throttlО Мontrol to "loа" and let the motor run for approx. 30 seconds.
2. When the motor idles, set the throttle control to full stop.
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during use. We therefore recommend
taking a break every 2 hours.

Cleaning the tiller

The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove
any grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp
cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning.

Changing the oil

The oil should initially be changed after the first 5 hours of use, and thereafter once per year.
1. Let the motor run for 5 minutes to heat up the oil. This allows the oil to run more freely
and makes for a more complete oil change.
2. After 5 minutes, stop the motor. Remove the spark plug cap. Drain the oil by
unscrewing the sump plug. Remember to drain the oil into a container of sufficient
capacity.
NB: The motor must not be tipped backwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Screw the sump plug back in and pour new oil into the motor.
Do this by removing the dipstick and pouring in the recommended quantity of oil.
4. Refit the spark plug cap.
Alternatively, use an oil change pump kit.
1. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the syringe. Use the
hose to reach the sump.
2. Transfer the used oil to the container.
3. Fill the engine with new SAE-30 oil.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
Remember to dispose of used oil in an ecologically sound manner.

Air filter maintenance

Please inspect and clean the air filter on a regular basis. If the filter has not been cleaned for
a longer period, this will have influence on the engines power take-off and the exhaustion.
See fig. 18.
1. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.
2. Carefully remove the paper filter and check it. Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very
dirty, it must be changed. Take care that no dirt gets into the intake of the engine.
Oil and oil pump kit are not included.
