Changing the oil (07)

Check the oil level regularly. Check the oil level
every 5 operating hours or every day before start-
ing the engine (see chapter 4.2.1 "Filling with en-
gine oil (02)", page 20).
WARNING! Danger of explosion and fire.
Escaping fuel will create an explosive petrol/air
mixture. Deflagration, explosion and fire can lead
to serious and even fatal injuries if fuel is not han-
dled properly.
■
Empty the fuel tank before draining the oil.
NOTE
■
Drain off the old oil when the engine is warm.
Warm oil runs out quickly and fully.

Dispose of used oil in an eco-friendly man-
ner!

Clean engine and silencer (08)

IMPORTANT! Risk of fire due to foreign
objects. Flammable foreign matter on the engine
can ignite during operation and set the lawn trac-
tor on fire.
■
Remove combustible debris (e.g. grass,
leaves, grease) from the engine, especially
from the exhaust and cylinder area.
■
Check and clean the exhaust and cylinder ar-
ea regularly.
1. Allow the engine to cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the contamination regularly from the
engine with a cleaning cloth or brush. Im-
portant! Do not spray the engine with water.
Penetrating water (ignition system, carburet-
tor...) can lead to malfunctions.
3. Blow-off all waste and dirt residues from the
silencer and its cover using compressed air.
4. Clean the cooling system:
■
Remove obstructions from cooling air
openings (08/1).
■
In order to prevent overheating, also
clean the internal cooling vanes and sur-
faces.

and detergent.
