6.3 Regular checks, maintenance and adjustments
6.3.1 Battery
Correct and regular maintenance of the battery will extend its lifespan. Therefore regularly check its
condition according to the manual supplied by the battery's manufacturer.
} Keep the battery contacts clean. If dirt accumulates on them, or they are rusty, clean them according
to the recommendations of the battery's manufacturer. Interruption of the circuit caused by the
oxidation of the contacts may lead to the malfunction of the recharging function of the engine!
} Regularly check the condition of the electrolyte. The level must be in the range
MIN - MAX. In the event of filling up the electrolyte, use only distilled water.
} A flat battery needs to be recharged as soon as possible, otherwise its cells may be irreparably
damaged.
} It is always necessary to charge the battery before:
- first use
- when not planning on using it for a long time
- before starting up after a longer break
} If it is necessary to replace the battery, always use a battery of the same size and type.
Further details about checking and maintaining batteries are included in a separate
user's manual supplied by the battery's manufacturer.
6.3.2 Engine
u CHANGING OIL
Before changing the oil, prepare a container with a volume of at least
2 litres. So that all the oil flows out of the engine we recommend that you
place something (e.g. wooden blocks) under the side opposite the drain
screw. Drain the oil while it is still warm.
} Unscrew the filler opening of the oil so that the oil flows better and faster
out of the engine.
} Unscrew the drain screw and allow the oil to fully flow out into the prepared
container.
} Screw the drain screw back on and fill the engine with the correct amount
of the recommended oil (
oil filler cap.
} Use the dipstick to check the correct oil level. If necessary fill up the oil so
that the oil is at the correct level.
Further details about replacing oil as well as its type and amount are included in a separate
user's manual supplied by the engine's manufacturer.
If you come into contact with used oil, we recommend that you thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water.
Dispose of used oil according to environment protection laws. It is appropriate to deliver
the oil in a closed container to a used oil collection point. Under no circumstances should
dispose of the used oil with other waste or pour it down the drain, on to waste or on the
floor.
u MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR FILTER
