CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Turn the hand screw (A) counter-
clockwise to loosen it (Don't remove
it from the air filter cover). Remove
the air filter cover (B) and take out
the filter (C). Clean the filter and
air filter cover with compressed
air. Ensure that the compressed air
is dry.
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.
FUEL FILTER
1 - Fuel filter
When the engine runs short of fuel
supply, check the fuel cap and the
fuel filter for blockage.
BEVEL GEAR
The bevel gear is filled with the right
quantity of grease at the factory.
However, before using the machine
you should check that the bevel
gear is filled three-quarters full with
grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does
not normally need to be changed
except if repairs are carried out.
SPARK PLUG
The spark plug condition is
influenced by:
- Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
- An incorrect fuel mixture (too
much or incorrect type of oil).
- A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the
spark plug electrodes, which may
result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
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 0,6-0,7 mm. The spark plug
should be replaced after about
a month in operation or earlier if
necessary.
Recommended Spark plug type:
1 - NHSP LD L8RTF
2 - CHAMPION RCJ7Y
3 - NGK BPMR7A
CAUTION! ! Always use the
recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can
damage the piston/ cylinder. Check
that the spark plug is fitted with a
suppressor.
