CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, silencer/catalytic converter, bat-
tery and fuel tank free from grass,
leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leakage.
When washing the machine with water under high
pressure, do not point the jet directly at the trans-
mission.
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.
ENGINE OIL
(Senator - President - Pro16 - Pro20)
Change the oil for the first time after 8 hours run-
ning (Senator and President after 5 hours), and
then after every 50 hours running or once a season.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF,
SG or SH).
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high.

drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. So allow the engine to cool a
few minutes before draining the oil.
1. Oil drain pipe (metal):
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe.
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to
get on the V-belts.
2. Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the
fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not
damaged and that they are in the correct place.
3. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity:
Senator, President - 1.4 l
Pro16, Pro20 - 1.7 l (incl. oil filter)
Oil type, summer (> 4ºC): SAE-30
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con-
sumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly
if you use this type of oil).
Oil type, winter (< 4ºC): SAE 5W-30
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for
30 seconds. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds
and then check the oil level.
Check to see if there is any oil leakage. If neces-
sary,filluptheoiluptothe“FULL“mark.
ENGINE OIL (Royal)
Change the oil for the first time after 20 hours of
operation (or during the first month), and then after
every 100 hours of operation or once every 6
months.
Change oil when the engine is warm. Always use
a good grade of oil (service grade SF, SG or SH).

drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. So allow the engine to cool a
few minutes before draining the oil.
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe
(fig. 17).
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to
get on the V-belts.
Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the fibre
gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not dam-
aged and that they are in the correct place.
Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil up to
the “UPPER” mark.
Oil capacity:
Royal - 0.9 l (= oil quantity at change. In total the
engine holds 1.15 l).
Oil type for all seasons: SAE 10W-40.
For extremely low temperatures (< -20° C), use
SAE 5W-30.
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
