Oil Level Check; Air Filter Maintenance - Solo 546 Manual De Instrucciones

9.6 Oil level check

Attention: The engine oil affects the lawn mower's
efficiency and life span. Never operate the engine
without oil or with little oil. Major engine damage
can occur. The optimum viscosity depends on where
the lawn mower is used (air temperature and
altitude) and can be found in the engine owners
manual.
Checking Oil level:
Fig. 15
Remove dipstick, hold horizontally and read oil
level. Oil level has to be between the
"MAXIMUM" and "MINIMUM" markings.
Changing Oil (Briggs&Stratton 4-cycle engine)
The engine oil may be drained via the oil drain screw
or the oil filler opening. Blade and blower wheel
need to be removed to reach the oil drain screw
(illustration 13). Observe especially the service
instructions in the separate engine owners manual.
For the oil change with the HONDA OHC Engine,
the used oil is removed by suction wich should
only be done by a specialist workshop.
When draining via oil filler opening (14): Tilt the
warm mower (with fuel tank empty and closed oil
filler ) slowly over the side of the filler opening.
Remove oil filler cap and catch old oil in a container.
Wait several minutes until oil is drained. Dispose off
the old oil in accordance with local ordinances.
After changing oil, always wash hands with a
scouring agent, soap and water.
Attention: Never simply throw away used engine oil
and gear lubricant (environmental protection).
Collect used oil in authorized containers and submit
to the proper recycling facility.
Gearbox (546R / 546HR / 546RT / 546RS / 546SM)
The gear is equipped with a special permanent oil
and operates completely maintenance-free.
Technical faults that cannot be resolved by adjusting
the Bowden throttle cable are only to be corrected
by an authorized Service Center.
Place lawn mower
horizontally with all
wheels on the ground.
Turn oil tank cap
counter-clock-wise (14),
and remove. Wipe off
dipstick.
Place dipstick back into
filler pipe.

9.7 Air filter Maintenance

Attention: Dirty air filters reduce the engine's
efficiency, the carburetor does not receive sufficient
air flow. Routine inspection, especially in dusty
conditions, is essential.
Attention: Never clean air filter parts with gasoline
or flammable solvents. Danger of fire or explosion!
Observe all instructions in the respective engine
owners manual.
