Changing oil (Fig. 3 - 5)
If the petrol engine operates frequently under high tem-
peratures or high loads, change the oil every 25 oper-
ating hours. It is recommended to replace the oil after
20 operating hours after commissioning, then every 100
operating hours.
The engine oil change should be carried out while the
motor is at operating temperature.
m ATTENTION! Drain petrol before changing oil.
Only use engine oil (10W30 / 15W40).

Automatic oil cut-off
The automatic oil cut-off system responds when there
is too little engine oil. The oil indicator light (7) starts
flashing when there is too little oil in the engine. The in-
dicator lamp starts to light up when the oil quantity has
not reached the safety quantity. The engine switches
itself off after a short time. It is not possible to start the
engine until the engine oil has been filled (see chapter
"Changing oil").
