9.1
Filling up with engine oil (Fig. 9)
m Attention!
The machine is delivered without engine oil. There-
fore, ensure that you add oil before commission-
ing. Use multigrade oil (SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
(depending on the operating temperature)) for this.
Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An
oil level that is too low can damage the engine.
1.
Place the machine on a level, even surface.
2.
Unscrew the oil dipstick (13).
3.
Fill the tank with engine oil using a funnel (not in-
cluded in scope of delivery). Note the max. filling
capacity of 600 ml. Carefully fill the oil up to the
lower edge of the filling port.
4.
Wipe the oil dipstick (13) with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
5.
Re-insert the oil dipstick (13) and check the oil lev-
el without screwing the dipstick tight again.
6.
The oil level must be within the middle mark on
the oil dipstick.
7.
If the oil level is too low, add the recommended
amount of oil (max. 600 ml).
8.
Then screw the oil dipstick (13) in again.
9.2
Filling up with petrol (Fig. 10)
m Attention!
The machine is delivered without petrol. It is there-
fore essential to fill with petrol before commission-
ing.
1.
Clean the area surrounding the filling area. Impuri-
ties in the tank lead to operational faults.
2.
Carefully open the tank cover (20) so that any pos-
sible overpressure can be relieved.
3.
Fill the tank with petrol (Super E10) using a funnel
(not included in scope of delivery).
Note the max. filling capacity of 1 litres. Careful-
ly fill the petrol up to the lower edge of the filling
nozzle.
4.
Close the tank cover (20) again. Ensure that the
fuel cap is tightly sealed.
5.
Clean the fuel filler cap (20) and the surroundings.
6.
Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks.
7.
Move at least three meters away from the refuel-
ling area before starting the engine.
Do not use petrol that has already been used or that
is contaminated. Do not allow dirt or water to enter the
fuel tank.
9.3
Check tire pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly. Long standing times
and sunlight contribute to rapid ageing of the tyres.
• Recommended tyre pressure in the drive wheels:
1.38 bar
• Recommended tyre pressure in the support wheel:
3.1 bar
Note: If you notice that the tyres or wheels are dam-
aged, please contact the customer service or a spe-
cialist workshop.
Check before operation
• Check all sides of the engine for oil or fuel leaks.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the fuel level – the tank should be at least
half-full.
• Check the condition of the air filter.
• Check the condition of the fuel lines.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check that all protective covers are in place and all
screws, nuts and pins are tightened.
10. Operating the sweeper
10.1 Adjusting the steering bar height (Fig. 12)
1.
Set the steering bar (16) to a working height that
you find comfortable (3 levels).
2.
To do so, use the handle (19) on the underside of
the steering bar (16).
3.
Let the handle (19) audibly engage again.
10.2 Starting the engine (Fig. 1, 11)
Check the petrol and engine oil levels before each start
(see sections 9.1 and 9.2). Make sure that the spark
plug connector (4) is connected to the spark plug (4a).
1.
With the engine cold, set the throttle lever (18) to
the CHOKE position. The choke is not necessary
when the engine is warm.
2.
Press the primer pump (22) 1 to 4x depending
on the temperature (see sticker on the air filter).
