8.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

to ensure effective operation of the machine. For a
complete maintenance service, we recommend you to
take the lawnmower to your service technician.
Always use adequate replacement parts in order to
obtain a proper performance of the product and avoid
damage and risks to machine and user.
Replacement parts should be purchased at the official
service dealer. The use of non-official spare parts
may cause risk of accident, injury to the user and
scrapping of the machine.
8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the
performance of the machine. Check and clean this
element. If you notice damage or alterations to the
filter, replace it with a new one.
1. Remove the protective cap from the air filter by
unscrewing the two wing nuts.
2. Remove the filter..
3. Clean the filter with a foam filter cleaner
4. Install the filter in the machine.

Note: The engine must never operate without the air
filter installed.
8.2.2. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still
hot.
WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a
pipeline network or on the Earth. The
contamination of groundwater and water
tables is subject to heavy fines. There are special
collection places at service stations. If not, any
municipal authority will give you the relevant
information.
Note: You have two procedures at your disposal
to empty the engine oil. You can drain the oil by
loosening the drain screw located at the base of the
filling canal or you can use the Garland engine oil
cleaner (ref.: 7199000020, not included with the
machine, which can be found at your nearest Garland

machine.
For easy implementation, cleaning, and safety, we
recommend that you clean the oil.

uncluttered surface.
