ENGINE MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
A
CAUTIONG!
If the motor needs to be tilted during maintenance, the fuel tank must be empty.
The spark plug must always be upwards. If the fuel tank isn't emptied and the motor
is tilted differently and in a different direction, then it can be difficult to start due to
the oil and petrol that clogs inappropriate parts of the motor, polluting the air filter,
the spark plug and the like.

OIL CHANGE
It is recommended to ask authorized service for oil change.
I
The first oil change should be carried out after 5 operating hours, when operating
Note:
under heavy load another change should be done after 25 operating hours.
Drain the engine oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and complete.
Attention: Do not drain oil when the engine is runningG!
1.
Place a suitable container next to the engine to catch the used oil.
2.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3.
Remove the drain bolt - if equipped - and allow the used oil to drain completely into the container.
4.
For engine without drain plug, we recommend to use oil extractor pump, or drain the oil
into the container by slightly tilting the engine toward the oil filler cap/dipstick. Before tilting
the machine, remove fuel from tank. Keep the spark plug end of the engine up. Do not
drain oil from the upper filler neck unless the fuel tank is completely empty. Otherwise when
the machine is tilted, fuel might leak and cause fire or explosion.
5.
Reinstall the drain bolt. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on
cap/dipstick.
6.
Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
(1) These operations must be done in authorised service center
