Clean the outside of the spark plug. Remove it and check
the electrode gap. Adjust the gap to 0,6-0,7 mm or
replace the spark plug. Check that the spark plug is fitted
with a suppressor.
0,6-0,7
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/
cylinder.
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.
•
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
•
Excessive fuel consumption.
Check the airfilter and clean it when it´s necessary.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces on muffler, cylinder etc.
Contact can result in burns to the skin.
Cleaning the air filter
•
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash
it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is
dry before refitting it.
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.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter
should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the
heading Oiling the air filter.
•
Refit the air filter and air filter cover.
MAINTENANCE
Oiling the air filter
Always use special filter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to
make it spread evenly through the filter. You should
therefore avoid skin contact.
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never
use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
Shoulder strap
If the shoulder strap is damaged, it may break while in use
and the machine may fall causing personal injury. Follow
the instructions below to replace the shoulder strap.
•
Pass the upper end of the strap through the hanger,
making the FLAPPED SIDE OUTSIDE.
•
Put the end of the strap through the ring (1) on the
strap and then push the ring toward the hanger as
close as possible.
