Checking the oil level (Fig. 18):
• Stand the lawn mower on a flat level surface.
• Unscrew the dip stick (11) by turning anticlockwise, pull out and wipe. Insert the dip
stick back in the filling mount as far as the stop, but do not screw back in.
• Pull out the dip stick (11) again and read off the oil level while holding hori-
zontally. The oil level must be between the maximum and the minimum
Changing the oil
• Change the engine oil every year before the start of the season when the engine
is warm.
• Use only engine oil (SAE30/ 10W30).
• Empty the fuel tank (with a petrol suction pump)
• Place a flat oil drip tray in front of the mower (min. volume 1 litre).
• Remove the dipstick and tip over the mower until the whole oil is run out into the oil
drip tray.
• Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on the dipstick (approx. 0.4 L).
• Important! Do not screw in the oil dipstick to check the oil level – only insert it as far
as the thread.
Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.
Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 20)
A soiled air filter will reduce the performance of the engine because it will prevent
enough air getting to the carburetor. It is therefore imperative that regular checks are
made. The air filter should be checked every 25 hours and cleaned if required. If the
air is very dusty the air filter should be checked more regularly.
Unclip the air filter cover and remove the sponge filter element. To avoid objects falling
into the air intake, replace the air filter cover. (Fig. 20).
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable cleaning agents. Clean
the air filter with compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling.
Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 21)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary
clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50
hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the spark plug (9) with a spark plug
wrench.
Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030"). Refit the spark plug taking care
