8.3. MAINTENANCE AND CARE AFTER USE
Perform the following maintenance operations
and care when you have finished working with
the machine to ensure the smooth running of this
machine in the future.
8.3.1. CLEANING
Keep the machine clean, especially the area of the
fuel tank and areas close to the air filter.
8.3.2. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
- Place the machine on a horizontal, uncluttered flat
surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the oil cap dipstick with a cloth.
- Insert the dipstick and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left by
the oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt
the machine and let out a little oil (put a container
at the end of the tube to prevent oil spilling from
the machine or onto the ground).
