−
first)
when the insulating body is damaged,
−
− when the electrodes show excessive erosion,
when the electrodes show excessive dirt or oil.
−
Use the following spark plug type:
− Champion RC12YC

Checking the ignition spark

1. Allow the engine to cool down.
2. Pull the spark plug connector (35) from the spark
plug (38).
3. Remove the spark plug using the supplied spark plug
socket spanner (39).
4. Firmly connect the spark plug connector.
5. Adjust the engine as described in "Cold start of the
engine" (section 1-4).
6. Use an insulated pair of tongs to press the spark plug
against the engine body (away from the spark plug hole).
7. Firmly pull the cranking rope on the cranking handle.
A spark between the electrodes is a sign of proper
functioning

Silencer / exhaust outlet

Check the silencer regularly.
Clean the exhaust outlet (27) on a regular basis.

Oil change

Change the oil as long as the engine is still warm.
Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
The oil must be changed after the first 5 operating hours.
Then, only every 100 operating hours or once in a season.
Two persons are required.
1. Unscrew the oil drain plug (34).
2. Unscrew the oil filling plug (33).
3. First person:
Hold a container with a capacity of at least 0.6 litres below
the oil drain plug.
Second person:
Tilt the machine to allow the oil to flow out.
4. Thoroughly clean the area around the oil outlet.
5. Retighten the oil drain plug.
6. Slowly pour 0.6 litres of new oil (for oil type see
"Fuelling") into the hole.
7. Tighten the oil filling plug (33).
8. Wipe off oil residues/spilling.
Please refer to the "Engine Operating Instructions"
for more information on the engine.
Care
Clean the machine thouroughly after each application so that
the faultless function is kept. To maintain their efficiency and
a long life, observe the following:
− Keep vent slits clean and free from obstructions.
− Check the locking screws (tighten where necessary).
− Clean the device after shredding.
To clean your product only use a warm moist cloth and a
soft brush.
Never use cleaning agents or solvents. Otherwise the
device may be damaged irreversibly. Plastic parts may
be corroded by chemicals.
− Do not clean the machine with running water or high-
pressure cleaners.
− After each operation treat bare metal parts with an
environment-compatible biodegradable spray oil to
protect them against corrosion.
