Periodical service points
1. Cylinder fins
Dust clogging between the cylinder fins will cause
overheating of the engine. Periodically check and clean
the cylinder fins after removing the air cleaner and the
cylinder cover. When installing the cylinder cover, make
sure that switch wires and grommets are positioned
correctly in place.
2. Fuel filter
a) Using a wire hook, take out the filter from the filler
port.
b) Disassemble the filter and wash with gasoline, or
replace with a new one if needed.
IMPORTANT
• After removing the filter, use a pinch to hold the end
of the suction pipe.
• When assembling the filter, take care not to allow filter
fibers or dust inside the suction pipe.
3. Oil tank
With a wire hook, take out the oil filter through the filler
port and clean in gasoline. When putting the filter back
into the tank, make sure that it comes to the front right
corner. Also clean off dirt in the tank.

the cutters always sharp.

• You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut way does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
