7.4 Changing the oil
Change the oil the first time after 2 hours of oper-
ation, and subsequently every 25 hours of opera-
tion or at least once a season. Change oil when the
engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. So allow the engine to cool a few
minutes before draining the oil.
1. Lean the machine slightly so that the oil drain-
ing plug is the lowest point of the engine.
2. Unscrew the oil draining plug. See “4.10”.
3. Let the oil run out into a container.
4. Screw back the oil draining plug.
5. Fill with new oil: See “5.2”.
7.5 Side adjustment
If the handle’s side adjustment (1:P) does not lock
the handle satisfactorily it can be adjusted as fol-
lows:
1. Remove the handle’s support by carrying out
the procedure in “3.2” reverse order.
2. Adjust the lock on the nut in fig. 7.
Tightening secures the lock better.
Slackening off makes the lock less secure.
3. Reinstall the handle according to the procedure
in “3.3”.
7.6 Cleaning
Never use high-pressure washing equip-
ment when cleaning. This can cause wa-
ter to penetrate between the seals and
cause machine damage.
First brush off all dirt. Then wipe down the rotary
cultivator using a damp cloth. The underside can
be washed with water.
