exhaust gases.
– Operate the product outdoors only.
ATTENTION
Product damage!
Using the product without or with too little engine and
gear oil can result in engine damage.
– Fill with fuel and oil before commissioning. The
product is supplied without engine and gearbox
oil.
– Only use SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
ATTENTION
Environmental damage!

The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
– Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
– Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
– Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
– Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.

4. Pull the oil dipstick (19) out and read the oil level in
the horizontal position. The oil level must be posi-
tioned between the max. and min. of the oil dipstick
(19).
5. Then screw the oil dipstick (19) in again.
16.3 Oil change
The engine oil change should be completed annually
before the start of the season while the engine is at op-
erating temperature and shut off.
Only use engine oil (SAE 10W-30/SAE 10W-40).
1. Place the lawnmower on a level, even surface.
2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (19) by turning it anticlock-
wise.
3. Use an oil pump (not included in scope of delivery)
and the hose to suck out the engine oil through the
filling nozzle.
4. Fill up with fresh engine oil and check the oil level
(see 10.1
16.4 Drain fuel with a fuel extraction
pump (Fig. 25)
1. Hold a collection bucket under the hose of the fuel
extraction pump (not included in the scope of deliv-
ery).
2. Unscrew and remove the fuel filler cap (12).
3. Push the hose of the fuel extraction pump into the fu-
el tank (13) and drain out the fuel tank completely
using the fuel extraction pump.
4. Retighten the fuel filler cap (12).
5. To ensure that no fuel remains in the carburettor, the
remaining fuel must be drained out of the carburet-
tor. To do this, place a suitable container (not in-
cluded in the scope of delivery) under the carburettor
and open the carburettor screw (34) with the aid of
an open-end wrench AF10 (not included in the
scope of delivery).
