LUBRICATION
2. Oil change reduction gear 1:6
The reduction gear only appears on a special
version of model DT18C.
The engine’s reduction axle does not have a
drainage screw, but the oil can be drained through
the level plug hole (2) by tipping the machine
forward. Because it is difficult to avoid spilling
gasoline and releasing gasoline fumes, the oil
should not be changed indoors.
1. Empty the fuel tank or put a vessel in place to
collect gasoline spills.
2. Tip the machine forwards, place a vessel under
the level plug (2) and remove the filler plug (1)
and the level plug (2)
3. Allow the oil to drain into the vessel, right the
machine and park it on even ground.
4. Refill using new oil of the same type as that in
the engine in the filler hole until it runs over
from the level plug. Volume 0.15 liters.
5. Replace the level and filler plugs. Tighten them
moderately.
6. Wipe up any spilled oil.
Checking the gearbox oil level
Make sure the machine is parked on even ground
and that the engine is not running. Carefully remove
the level plug (2) and check that oil drains out. If
there is no oil leakage, the machine can be
carefully tipped forward to estimate the oil level. If
necessary, fill the oil in the filler plug hole (1) until it
runs over from the level plug.
Replace the level and filler plugs. Tighten
moderately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the ground
or in nature; it should always be disposed of
at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap
and water in case of spills.
