area when removing the motor cover.
• Remove the air filter.
• Depending upon usage, give the filter a superficial
cleansing. Tap the air filter against a flat and smooth
surface. Remove most particles, sawdust and dust.
• Also, you could use compressed air. Blow away dirt on
both sides.
• For a more thorough cleansing, wash the air filter with
lukewarm soapy water. Rinse and let it dry before setting
it back in the tool.
• If using compressed air to dry the filter, blow on both

ventilation slots in the starter unit as needed.
• Likewise, periodically clean and blow the motor cylinder
blades and the fan blades. Remove all particles.
Otherwise, the motor overheats and gets damaged.
• According to the type of fuel and oil used, or the working
conditions, the exhaust outlet and muffler could get
obstructed with carbon deposits. If you notice power loss
in the tool, said deposits need to be removed. Take the
tool to a
to carry out this service.

Spark Plug Replacement
• The motor runs with a Champion RCJ-6Y spark plug or
Torch L7RTC, with a 0.025" electrode gap. Replace with a
similar spark plug once a year.
• Using a wrench loosen the worn spark plug to the left
side. Remove it.
• Insert the new spark plug and tighten to the right side
with your hand. Then, give half-a-turn with the wrench.
CAUTION
• Use care not to damage the spark plug
thread. Otherwise the motor could get severely
damaged.
Exhaust and Muffler Cleansing
• According upon type of fuel, the amount of oil used
and/or working conditions, the tool exhaust and muffler
could get clogged with carbon deposits. If noticing power
loss, the deposits should be removed to increase
performance. Go to a
Service Center to carry out this service.
• There is a spark arrester inside the muffler. After long
working periods the screen gets dirty and the muffler
should be replaced. Take it to be replaced in a
Authorized Service Center.
Tool Storage
When storing the tool for one month or longer consider
the following considerations:
• Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container. The remaining fuel mix should be
reused in another two-cycle motor using a 50:1 ratio.
• Run the motor until all remaining fuel burns and it
stops. Eliminate any fuel residues and avoid damaging
gum build-up in the fuel system.
• Clean the tool thoroughly.
• Store the unit in a well-ventilated area. Keep it away from
corrosive agents such as gardening chemicals, de-icing salts.
Keep it away from children.
• Comply with all the government regulations dealing with
safety and handling of fuel.
