LUBRICATION

Changing the Engine Oil

The engine oil should be changed for the first time after 5-8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it should be changed every 50 hours. The oil drain valve is located on the left side of the unit, below the oil filter.

•Place the machine on a flat surface.

•Place a container under the engine where the oil drain valve exits.

•Remove the valve cap.

•Allow the oil to run out into the container.

•Reinstall the oil drain valve cap.

•Replace the oil filter if necessary.

•Fill with new engine oil in accordance with Checking the Oil Level.

•Start the engine. Run it for 3-5 minutes. Stop and recheck the oil level.

Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.

If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.

Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.
