Spark plug
The engine spark plug is hidden under the ignition
cable shoe. When performing service, it is important
that the engine cannot start accidentally. For this
reason, always remove the ignition cable shoe from
the spark plug. To avoid pulling the cable, the cable
shoe is equipped with a special handle; see the
illustration.
Type of spark plug, see ”Technical data”.
Service instructions, see ”Maintenance/Ignition
system”.
Muffler
The engine muffler is equipped with a heat protective
cowling. Nonetheless, it still becomes hot when the
engine is running. Avoid touching the muffler when it
is warm. Risk for burns.
Oil drainage
The drainage screw for the crankcase oil reservoir
is located on the front of the engine.
Engine switch
The engine switch stops the engine. The illustration
shows the switch in the OFF position (short circuited
electrical system). To start the engine, the switch
must be first set to the ON position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the ground
or in nature; it should always be disposed of
at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap
and water in case of spills.
Oil dipstick
The dipstick for the crankcase oil reservoir is
located on the front of the engine. Refill the engine
oil in the hole where the dipstick fits. When checking
the oil level, the dipstick should not be screwed in.
The machine should be parked on even ground with
the engine stopped. Never run the engine without the
dipstick in place. Certain engines have electronic oil
level guards. They stop the engine and prevent
restarting if the level becomes too low. Yet you
should not rely entirely on the level guard; rather you
should check the oil using the dipstick.
For normal use, we recommend SAE 10W-30-weight
engine oil service SF-SG; see also the chapter
”Lubrication/Engine oil”.
