If the motor is in operation, the noise absorber is very hot. Do not touch it.
2. Check the ignition plug for wear, damage or breaks in the insulating ring.
3. Measure the distance of the ignition plugs.
Correct the distance by moving the electrode to one side. The distance of the ignition plug is 0.7
mm to 0.8 mm.
4. Check the ring of the ignition plug. Fix the ignition plug with a wrench in order to protect the
thread.
NOTE: If you set the new ignition plug, it must then be pressed against the ring and retightened
with a half rotation. If the ignition
plug is used, it must be tightened with a 1/2 to 1/4 rotation.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the ignition plug is tightened. If not, it may overheat and cause damage to the
motor.Do not use an ignition plug with a value range which does not comply with the
specifications.
OPERATION AT HEIGHTS
The air-fuel mixture of the default carburetor is excessively saturated at heights. The
performance decreases and the fuel consumption increases.
The performance during operation at heights may be improved if the carburettor is controlled
and the main bolt is reset.
10.TRANSPORT AND STORAGE (J,K)
CAUTION
Before transport and storage, the motor must cool down.
When transporting the water pump, the fuel lever must be set to the "OFF" position. Place the
pump horizontally in order to avoid leakage of the fuel. Leaked petrol and petrol fumes may
ignite.
Before longer storage periods:
1. Store the pump in a clean and dry environment.
2. Clean the internal part of the pump. In order to remove dirt and residues, it must be washed
with clean water. Then unscrew the lid of the water drain in order to completely drain the water.
Finally, the lid must be reattached. Then drain the fuel.
3. Drain the fuel.
CAUTION: The petrol is combustible and explosive under certain conditions.
a. Set the fuel lever to the "OFF" position.
Remove the drain screw of the carburetor chamber.
b. Set the fuel lever back to the "ON" position and let the fuel drain out of the tank.
c. Reattach the drain screw.
4. Change the oil.
5. Remove the ignition plug: Fill a small amount of new motor oil into the cylinder, rotate the
crank shaft several times in order to lubricate the cylinder and the piston and then reinsert the
