MAINTENANCE
•
Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and
tension the recoil spring.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil).
A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difficulties.
Fitting the starter
•
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm
•
To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with

Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt
in order to avoid:

Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire
if directed against dry and combustible material.
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the air filter daily, or more often in demanding conditions.
•
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover. When
refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly against the
filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or shaking it.
•
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week.This is best done with a
wire brush.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced with
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must
always be replaced.
CAUTION! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause
damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with
a muffler that is in poor condition.
