MAINTENANCE

undamaged. Replace with a new air filter if you believe
it to be defective. Wash the filter with a liquid cleaning
agent and water. Rinse the filter well in clean water.
Squeeze out and allow the filter to dry. Put the filter in
a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil
out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour off the
excess before fitting the filter to the machine.

• Unscrew the oil cap, clean the dipstick located on the
cap and insert the cap again without screwing it down.
Check the oil level on the dipstick.
• If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil up to the upper
level on the dipstick.
Changing the oil

hours of use, and then every 50 hours of normal use and
25 hours of heavy use thereafter. Change the engine oil
while the engine is hot.
• Empty the fuel tank by running the machine until the
tank is empty.
• Remove the drain plug.
• Tip the machine over and empty the oil into a suitable
vessel. NB! The spark plugs should be facing
upwards when you tip the machine over.
• Ask where you can dispose of surplus engine oil at
your local petrol station.
• Put the plug back and fill with new oil.
Spark plug
• If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking other steps.

electrode gap is 0.7-0.8 mm. Change every 100th
hour or once every season.
