If the cutter hits foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like
the cutter will slip against the cutter bracket. This may mean
that the contact surface of the cutter bracket appears slightly
worn, which is completely normal. This is a safety device,
which reduces the risk of the engine shaft becoming bent.
Changing the oil
The engine oil should be changed each year and every 25
working hours.
When changing the oil proceed as follows::
•
Empty the fuel tank by running the machine until the tank
is empty.
•
Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
•
Unscrew the bolt holding the cutter.
•
Loosen the bolts holding the protective hood and then lift
off the hood.
•
Unscrew the oil filler cap.
•
The oil can be drained from the underside by loosening
the oil plug. Do not forget to refit the oil plug before filling
with oil again.
Ask where you can dispose of surplus engine oil at your
local petrol station.
•
Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See the Technical
data section.
•
Check the oil level with the dipstick on the oil filler cap.
•
The oil filler cap must be completely screwed down to give
a correct picture of the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill
using engine oil up to the upper level on the dipstick.
•
Screw on the oil filler cap.
