MAINTENANCE
Oil change
Drain the oil while the motor is still warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
1. Remove the oil filler cap drain plug to drain the oil.
2. Install the drain plug, and tighten it securetly.
3. Refill with the recommended oil and check oil level.
☛
ATTENTION!
Place machine in horizontal position before checking engine oil level.
4. Install the oil filter cap.
Motor oil capacity: 1,1 l (1,06 USqt., 1,78 lmp pt)
Take notice:
Please pay attention to the corresponding environmental laws when disposing of used engine
oil. We recommend you carry the oil in a container to a central collecting point for used oils. Do
not pour used engine oil into the garbage nor into the sewer system, waste pipes or even on
the ground.
Air cleander service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air
cleaner regularly. Service more freqently when operating the motor in extremely dusty areas.
Warning:
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or ex-
plosion could result.
Caution:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Remove the wing nut and the air cleaner cover. Remove the elements and sparate them. Carefully check
both elements for holes or tears and replace if damaged.
2. Foam insert: Wash the insert in warm soap water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Alternatively wash the insert in
a cleaning agent with a high flashing (ignition) point and then let dry. Then impregnate the insert with clean
engine oil and press out excess oil. The engine will smoke during inial start-up if too much oil is left in the
foam.
3. Paper element: Tap the element lightly serveral times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt, or blow com-
pressed air through the filter from the inside out. Never try to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into
the fibers.
Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirt.
Cleaning the cyclone housing:
If dust has collected in the cyclone housing unscrew the three flat-head special screws and then wipe clean or
wash the parts with water. Then thoroughly dry the components and reassemble carefully.
Caution: - When reassembling the cyclone pay close attention to see that the tab of the air input fits perfectly
into the groove of the pre-filter cover.
- Assemble the air duct in the right direction.
