6.3 REGULAR CHECKS, MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
6.3.1 BATTERY
Correct and regular maintenance of the battery will extend its lifespan. Therefore regularly check its
condition according to the manual supplied by the battery's manufacturer.
Keep the battery contacts clean. If dirt accumulates on them, or they are rusty, clean them according to
the recommendations of the battery's manufacturer. Interruption of the circuit caused by the oxidation
of the contacts may lead to the malfunction of the recharging function of the engine!
Regularly check the condition of the electrolyte. The level must be in the
range MIN - MAX. In the event of filling up the electrolyte, use only distilled
water. (does not apply for maintenance-free batteries).
A flat battery needs to be recharged as soon as possible, otherwise its cells may be irreparably damaged.
It is always necessary to charge the battery before:
- first use
- when not planning on using it for a long time
- before starting up after a longer break
- in other cases, specified in the user's manual of the battery drawn up by its manufacturer.
If it is necessary to replace the battery, always use a battery of the same size and type.
Further details about checking and maintaining batteries are included in a separate
user's manual supplied by the battery's manufacturer.
6.3.2 ENGINE
CHANGING OIL
Before changing the oil, prepare a container with a volume of at least
2 litres. So that all the oil flows out of the engine we recommend that
you place something (e.g. wooden blocks) under the side opposite the
drain screw. Drain the oil while it is still warm.
Unscrew the filler opening of the oil so that the oil flows better and
faster out of the engine.
Unscrew the drain screw and allow the oil to fully flow out into the
prepared container.
Screw the drain screw back on and fill the engine with the correct
amount of the recommended oil (
and close the oil filler cap.
Use the dipstick to check the correct oil level. If necessary fill up the
oil so that the oil is at the correct level.
Further details about replacing oil as well as its type and amount are included in a separate
user's manual supplied by the engine's manufacturer.
