tank. The oil tank holds 0.5 l oil.
Use brand oil (e.g. SAE 30).
2. To check the oil level, wipe the
dipstick (19) on a clean cloth
and replace it in the tank until it
stops.
3. After pulling it out, read off
the oil level on the dipstick.
The oil level should be in
the marked area between
the minimum and maximum
marks.
4. Wipe off any spilt oil and
close the oil filler cap (19).
Check the oil level every time be-
fore mowing and add oil before the
lower marking point is reached.
Filling with Petrol
Warning! Petrol is flammable and
hazardous to health:
- Keep petrol in containers intended for
this purpose;
- Only refuel outdoors and never with the
engine running or when the machine is
hot;
- Open the filler cap carefully to allow
excess pressure to escape;
- Do not smoke whilst refuelling;
- Avoid skin contact and inhalation of
the fumes;
- Remove spilt petrol;
- Keep petrol away from sparks, open
flames and other ignition sources;
- Dispose of leftover petrol in an environ-
mentally friendly way (see “Disposal /
Environmental Protection”).
- Do not use petrol/oil mixtures;
- Use normal or super unleaded
petrol;
- Only use clean, fresh petrol;
- Do not store petrol for longer
than one month, as its quality
deteriorates.
1. Unscrew the filler cap ( 8)
and pour in the petrol to the filler
plugs (31). Do not fill the tank
entirely, to allow the petrol room
to expand.
2. Wipe away petrol residues
around the filler cap and close
the filler cap.
