Best time for oil change is approx. 10 minutes after longer operation, so that the oil is lukewarm.
Open the oil drain plug (See E1) and let the old oil drain in a suitable vessel.
Fill in the new motor oil via the oil filler 3 (See fig. E1) up to lower edge of oil filler neck.
The oil tank has a volume of 0.6 litres. Dispose of the old oil in an environmentally friendly way!

specification in reference to the spark plug type.

plug if the electrode is excessively worn or the insulation is damaged.
3. Measure the distance between the electrodes: it should be between 0.7 and 0.8 mm or ~ credit
card thickness. (Fig. E1).
