How to Clean the Air Filter

A dirty air filter will restrict air intake. Regular maintenance of air cleaner will help improve engine performance and re-

duce emissions.

WARNING

Never clean air filter with gasoline or an easy ignited solvent because it may cause explosion.

NOTE: Refer to Figure 14 when following the steps below:

1. Remove the air filter cover bolts.

2. Remove the air filter cover.

3. Carefully remove air filter element to prevent dirt from

falling into carburetor.

4. Clean all parts. Wash the air filter element in a

nonflammable or high burning point solvent, and allow to

dry thoroughly; dip the filter element in clean oil, and

squeeze out all excess oil.

5. Reinstall the air filter element.

6. Replace air filter cover and tighten cover bolts.

How to Check the Spark Plug

Spark Plug Model: Torch E7RTC

CAUTION

Only use the recommended spark plug or a spark plug

with the same temperature range. Using an improper

spark plug, an incorrect spark plug gap, or a dirty/fouled

spark plug can reduce engine performance and cause

damage.

1. Stop engine and allow it to cool.

2. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug.

3. Use the spark plug wrench and rod (included with edger)

to remove the spark plug. (See Figure 15)

4. Visually inspect the spark plug for cracks or damage. If

cracked, replace spark plug.

5. Clean carbon deposits. If excessive carbon build up,

replace spark plug.

6. Check that the gap of the spark plug is 0.024-0.028 in.

(0.6-0.7 mm). (See Figure 16)

7. Re-insert the spark plug and tighten using the spark

plug wrench and rod. (See Figure 15)

NOTE: Torque of spark plug is 18-22 foot-pounds (25-30 Nm)

8. Reattach spark plug wire to spark plug.

How to Prepare for Storage

WARNING

Never store the edger indoors with fuel in the fuel tank. Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area where fumes

could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Allow engine to cool

before storing unit.

WARNING

Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a fire, or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause an explosion

or a fire.

NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an authorized service center will make sure that the edger will provide maximum

performance for the next season.

When the edger is put in storage for thirty days or more, the following steps should be followed to make sure the edger is in good

condition the next season.

1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.

2. Change the oil by following instructions under "How to Change the Oil."

3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the recoil-start grip so

that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder. Pull starter handle slowly a few times to

distribute oil. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the cylinder valves.

WARNING

Figure 14

DO NOT attach spark plug wire to spark plug when storing unit.

4. Clean edger. Remove all dirt, leaves, debris, grease, etc. from the edger - including cylinder cooling fans, recoil starter

cover holes, under fuel tank, and under muffler.

5. Check the edger for worn or damaged parts. Have damaged parts replaced if necessary.

6. Tighten any loose hardware.

7. Apply lubrication as directed in Maintenance section.

8. Put the unit in a building that has good ventilation.

9. Cover the edger with a breathing material.
