Maintenance every day
5.6 Clean the machine
Caution
!
Perform cleaning work only after the engine
has cooled down and with the engine stopped.
Dirty operating conditions, particularly lubri-
cation oil and fuel deposits on the cooling fins
of the engine and the cooling air intake open-
ing have an adverse effect on the cooling of
the engine.
You should therefore immediately seal any oil
or fuel leaks near fuel tank, cylinder or cooling
air intake.

Caution
!
Do not guide the water jet into the air intake
and the recoil starter (Fig. 29).
After wet cleaning run the engine warm to
l
evaporate all water residues and to avoid cor-
rosion.

Check the engine oil level
Caution
!
Check the engine oil level with highest care, to
avoid over or underfilling of the engine. Under-
filling can damage the engine. Overfilling caus-
es excessive development of smoke and can
also lead to engine damage
The engine cannot be started if the engine oil
level is too low.
For quality of oil refer to the "table of fuels and
lubricants".
Stand the tamper on flat and level ground.
l
Shut down the engine.

Clean the area around the oil dipstick (1) (Fig.
l
30).
Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it clean with a
l
lint-free, clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick into the oil filler socket, do
l
not screew it in, but pull it out again to check
the oil level.
If the oil level is near or below the bottom limit
l
mark on the dipstick, fill in recommended oil up
to the top dipstick mark (bottom edge of oil fill-
er neck). Do not overfill.
