13.1 Cleaning work:

⚠ WARNING!

Risk of injury!

Unintended and unexpected start-up of the product may lead to injuries.

- Switch off the engine before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work and after the engine has cooled down, disconnect the spark plug connector from the spark plug.

Maintaining your petrol scarifier ensures a long service life for the machine and its components.

• Check the general condition of the petrol scarifier and check for loose screws, misalignment and jamming of moving parts, broken or worn parts and other issues that could impair function of the machine.
• Use a high quality light machine oil to lubricate the moving parts.
• Clean the underside of the petrol scarifier as soon as grass cuttings stick to it. The machine will not work well if the underside is not clean.
• Re-attach the spark plug connector after cleaning and maintenance work.

2. Remove the belt cover (7) to gain access to the V-belt (7a). To do this, use an open-end spanner size 8 (alternatively a socket spanner) (not included in the scope of delivery) to loosen the 4 hexagonal bolts on the belt cover (7).
3. Disengage the catch basket (16) (Fig. 5).
4. In order to loosen the belt, loosen the bottom nut on the stud bolt (7b) using an open-ended spanner size 14 (not included in scope of delivery).
5. Then screw the bottom nut on the stud bolt (7b) completely down.
6. Pull the worn V-belt (7a) off the pulleys and fit a new V-belt correctly.
7. Now retention the V-belt (7a) by turning the bottom nut on the stud bolt (7b) upwards using an open-ended spanner size 14 (not included in scope of delivery).
8. Recheck the belt tension (thumb pressure). If the V-belt (7a) gives more than 10-15 mm (thumb pressure), you must retighten it again.
9. Fit the belt cover (7) back on. And tighten the 4 hexagonal bolts on the belt cover (7) with an open-ended spanner size 8 (alternatively a socket spanner) (not included in the scope of delivery).
10. Engage the catch basket (16) again.

ATTENTION!

When you remove or attach the V-belt (7a), make sure that your fingers do not get caught between the belt and the pulley.

NOTE!

Product damage

Using the product without or with too little engine and gear oil can result in engine damage.

- Fill with petrol and oil before commissioning. The product is supplied without engine and gear oil.

NOTE!

Environmental damage!

Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. 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.
• Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and dispose it according to local regulations.
• Dispose of oil as per local regulations.

13.3 Changing the engine oil (Fig. 12)

After 25 working hours, the 1st oil change must be carried out. Thereafter, after 100 operating hours.

The engine oil change should be carried out while the motor is at operating temperature and switched off.

Use only engine oil (SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40).

1. Place the device on a level, even surface.

2. Place a suitable collection container under the oil drain screw (10).

3. Use an open-end spanner size 10 mm (not included in the scope of delivery) to open the oil drain screw (10) and drain the engine oil.

4. After you have drained the engine oil completely, screw in the oil drain screw (10) again.
5. Now unscrew the oil filler plug with oil dipstick (8) anticlockwise.
6. Fill up with fresh engine oil and check the oil level (see 10.1).
7. Then screw the oil filler plug with oil dipstick (8) back in clockwise.

13.4 Drain petrol with a petrol extraction pump (Fig. 13)

In case of storage over a longer period of time, the petrol must be drained from the fuel tank (6).

1. Set the fuel valve (14) to OFF.
2. Hold a collection container under the hose of the petrol extraction pump (not included in the scope of delivery).
3. Unscrew and remove the tank cover (6b).
4. Remove the fuel filter insert (6a).
5. Push the hose of the petrol suction pump into the fuel tank and drain the petrol completely using the petrol suction pump.
6. Reinsert the fuel filter insert (6a).
7. Retighten the tank cover (6b).
8. To ensure that no petrol remains in the carburettor, the remaining petrol must be drained out of the carburettor. To do this, place a suitable container (not included in the scope of delivery) under the carburettor and open the carburettor screw (A).

13.5 Maintenance of the air filter (Fig. 14)

A contaminated air filter insert (17c) diminishes the engine output due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

The air filter should be checked every 50 operating hours and cleaned as required.

1. Unscrew the wing nut (17a) and remove the air filter cover (17).
2. Check the air filter cover (17) for holes or cracks. Replace any damaged insert.
3. Unscrew the inner wing nut (17b) and remove the filter insert (17c).

4. Wipe off dirt on the inside of the filter housing with a clean moist cloth. Make sure that no direct enters the opening. Set the air filter cover (17) on the filter housing for the duration of the filter cleaning process.

5. Remove the filter insert (17c). Check it for damage and replace it if necessary.

6. Knock the filter insert (17c) against a hard surface to remove the dirt. Never try to brush the dirt out as this will press it into the fibres.

7. If necessary, clean the filter insert (17c) additionally in warm water and mild soap solution. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water and let it dry well.

8. Replace the clean filter insert (17c) and tighten the inner wing nut (17b).

9. Put on the air filter cover (17) and secure it with the wing nut (17a).

13.6 Cleaning/replacing the spark plug (Fig. 15 + 16)

⚠️ ATTENTION: Only replace the spark plug when the engine is cold!
