6.3.2 ENGINE
CHANGING OIL
Before changing the oil, prepare a container with a volume of at least 2 litres. So that all the oil
flows out of the engine we recommend that you place something (e.g. wooden blocks) under the
side opposite the drain bolt. Drain the oil while it is still warm.
► Unscrew the filler opening of the oil so that the oil flows better and faster out of the engine.
► Clip out the drain hose from the holder on the side of the engine and screw out the plug.
► Tilt the hose towards the prepared container and allow the oil to drain completely.
► Screw the plug back on and clip in the hose. Fill the engine with the correct amount of the
recommended oil ( User's manual for the engine) and close the oil filler cap.
► Use the dipstick to check the correct oil level. If necessary fill up the oil so that the oil is at the
correct level.
Further details about replacing oil as well as its type and amount are included in a separate user's manual supplied by the
engine's manufacturer.
If you come into contact with used oil, we recommend that you thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
Dispose of used oil according to environment protection laws. It is appropriate to deliver the oil in a closed container to a used oil
collection point. Under no circumstances should dispose of the used oil with other waste or pour it down the drain, on to waste or on
the floor.
MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without an air filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
Maintain the air filter according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the engine supplied by its manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG
For the engine to run perfectly the spark plug must be correctly set and clean from deposits.
Always use only the spark plug specified by the engine's manufacturer!
If the engine was running shortly before the inspection or replacement, then the spark plug will be very hot. So be very careful not to
burn yourself.
► Take off the spark plug cable and remove the spark plug using a wrench key.
► Visually inspect the exterior appearance of the spark plug. If the spark plug is visibly significantly
worn out or if the insulator is cracked or it is peeling, it is necessary to replace it.
► If the spark plug is soiled or only slightly worn, it is necessary to carefully clean it with a suitable wire
brush (copper).
► Using a gauge measure set the distance of the electrodes (
► After performing maintenance on or replacing the spark plug, pull it tight in position. An incorrectly
tightened spark plug heats up significantly and may cause serious damage to the engine.
Check, maintain and replace spark plugs according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the engine supplied by its
manufacturer.
REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without a fuel filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
