The foam filter can be cleaned in the following way:
- Remove the protective cap from the filter.
- Remove the filter.
- Clean the filter with soapy water.
- Rinse the filter with clean water.
- Dry the filter.
- Once dry, moisten it with 2 drops of oil (if you wet
the filter with too much oil the machine cannot
start).
- Install the filter on the machine.
- Put on the protective cap.
Note: The engine should never function without
the air filter installed.
8.2.2. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still
hot.
WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a
pipeline network or on the Earth. The contamination
of groundwater and water tables is subject to heavy
fines. There are special collection places at service
stations. If not, any municipal authority will give you
the relevant information.
Note: You have two procedures at your disposition to
empty the engine oil. You can drain the oil
by loosening the drain screw (Y2) located at the base
of the filling canal or you can use the Garland engine
oil cleaner (ref.: 7199000020, not included with the
machine, which can be found at your nearest Garland
dealer) and suck the oil through the filling tube (Y1) of
the machine. For easy implementation, cleaning and
safety we recommend that you pick up the oil.
