Checking The Oil Level; Air Filter Maintenance - Solo 582 Manual De Funcionamiento

Sharpening the cutting blade
Note: The cutting edges may be sharpened
with a metal file. Better results are achieved
by sharpening/grinding the cutting blade in
the service shop. The workshop also ensures
that an equal amount is ground off each side
of the blade to ensure it stays balanced. The
cutting edge must only be sharpened up to
the designation stamp (Fig. 13).

Checking the oil level

Please note: The engine oil influences the
performance and service life of your
machine. Never operate the engine without
or with insufficient oil; this causes severe damage to the
engine. Subject to air temperature and height above
sea level, you will find the optimum viscosity in the
type-specific engine operating instructions.
Checking the oil level:
1. Position the lawn mower with all wheels absolutely
horizontal.
2. Unscrew the oil filler cap (item 14) anti-clockwise
and clean the dipstick with a clean cloth.
3. Reinsert the dipstick as far as possible into the oil
filler, but do not screw down.
4. Withdraw the dipstick and check the oil level
holding it horizontally. The oil level must be
between the maximum and minimum mark.

Oil change
(BRIGGS+STRATTON four-stroke engine)
You may drain the engine oil either via the oil drain
plug or via the oil filler (item 14). To reach the oil drain
plug, remove the cutting blade and impeller (Fig. 14) B.
Particularly observe the maintenance instructions in the
separate engine operating instructions.
For the oil change on the HONDA OHC
engine, ask your local service shop to drain
the system by vacuum suction.
When draining the engine oil via the oil filler (item 14),
slowly tip the mower (at operating temperature) with
an empty fuel tank and closed oil filler cap onto that
side, where the filler is located. Wait a few minutes
before collecting the oil, then unscrew the oil filler cap
and catch the oil in a suitable container.
Note: Never simply tip away old oil (environmental
protection); instead collect it in a designated container
approved for engine oil, and deliver it for recycling to a
suitable recycling station.
Please note: After changing the oil, wash
your hands with a little abrasive cleaning
agent, soap and water.

Air filter maintenance

Note: Contaminated air filters (item 10) reduce engine
performance through insufficient air supply to the
carburettor. Regular checks, in particular under dusty
conditions, are therefore essential.
Please note: Never clean air filter elements
with petrol or other flammable solvents.
Risk of fire or explosion.
Observe the notes and instructions in the type-specific
engine operating instructions.
