MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE OIL
CAUTION :
• Prolonged and frequent contact with used engine oil can cause skin cancer. Although this
is unlikely, it is sensible to wash your hands thoroughly after handling used engine oil.
• Drain the oil while the engine is still warm so that the oil flows out quickly and completely.
1. Remove the oil filler cap [1] and the drain plug [2].
2. Drain the oil in an appropriate container.
3. Put the drain plug [2] back on, complete with its ring seal [3] and tighten fully.
4. Refill with a recommended oil type (see page 10) and check that the oil is level with the filler
neck.
Oil capacity:
EC2200: 0.6 litre
EC4000 - EC6000 - ECT6500: 1.1 litre
NOTE:
Protection of the environment: waste oil is a serious source of pollution of our
environment; we strongly recommend that you take it in a leak-proof container to a service
station or a waste disposal site, which will recycle it. Do not throw oil away with household
waste, and do not dispose of it by pouring it away on the ground or down the drain.
SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
The engine will not run properly if the air cleaner is dirty: it is very important that the air
cleaner is serviced regularly.
Never use petrol or inflammable solvents to clean air cleaner elements: these
products can cause fire and damage the air cleaner elements.
EC2200
1. Remove the wing nut [1] and the air cleaner cover [2]. Remove the wing nut [3]
and remove the elements [4] and [5] and separate them. Check carefully that the
elements are not torn or blocked; replace them if they are damaged.
