LUBRICATION
2. Oil change in reduction gear 1:6
The engine’s reduction axle does not have a
drainage screw, but the oil can be drained through
the level plug hole (2) by tipping the machine
forward. Because it is difficult to avoid spilling
gasoline and releasing gasoline fumes, the oil
should not be changed indoors.
1. Empty the fuel tank or put a vessel in place to
collect gasoline spills.
2. Tip the machine forwards, place a vessel
under the level plug (2) and remove the filler
plug (1) and the level plug (2)
3. Allow the engine oil to drain into the vessel,
right the machine and park it on even ground.
4. Refill using new oil of the same type as that in
the engine in the filler hole until it runs over
from the level plug. Volume 0.15 liters.
5. Replace the level and filler plugs. Tighten them
moderately.
6. Wipe up any spilled oil.
Checking the gearbox oil level
Make sure the machine is parked on even ground
and that the engine is not running. Carefully remove
the level plug (2) and check that oil drains out. If
there is no oil leakage, the machine can be carefully
tipped forward to estimate the oil level. If necessary,
fill the oil in the filler plug hole (1) until it runs over
from the level plug.
Replace the level and filler plugs. Tighten
moderately.
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.
Checking the engine’s oil level.
Make sure that the machine is parked on even
ground with the engine stopped when checking the
oil level.
1. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it using paper
towel or a lint-free rag.
2. Replace the dipstick without screwing it in.
Remove and check the level on the dipstick.
3. Fill oil as necessary to the lip of the dipstick
hole. Oil type, see chapter ”Lubrication/1. Engine

4. Check that the rubber gasket is in position and
screw the dipstick back into place. Do not
tighten it askew or too hard or you may damage
the threads.
