9.6 Information about the spark plug

Check the spark plug regularly after 50 hours of
operation.
Fig. 22
• Press the back tab of the spark plug cover (16)
down and remove in an upwards motion.
• Disconnect the spark plug cap.
• Unscrew the spark plug and dry the electrodes.
The spark plug should be replaced after 100 hours of
operation or if the electrodes are badly worn.
Do not turn the engine over while the spark plug has
been removed or the spark plug cap has been
disconnected from the high-tension ignition cable. A
spark may cause a fire!
Spark plugs with resistor (thermal value 200) are
available in different brands under the following
description:
BOSCH WSR6F
CHAMPION RCJ-6Y or comparable.
The correct electrode gap is 0.5 mm.
Only use spark plugs, where the contact nut has
been firmly fitted. Loose connectors may produce
sparks, which can cause a fire. Before restarting the
engine, check the high-tension ignition cable for any
damage to its insulation and ensure the cable is
connected securely to the plug cap
• Insert the spark plug into the cylinder head and
tighten it.
• Push the spark plug cap firmly over the spark plug.
• Position the spark plug cover onto the housing by
aligning it with the guiding pins, push down and
click into place.

9.7 Replacing the fuel filter

We recommend having the fuel filter (34) changed
annually by a specialised service centre.
Fig. 23
A trained mechanic can carefully remove the fuel filter
via a wire loop through the fuel tank filler. Ensure that
the thicker part of the fuel hose on the tank wall is not
drawn into the fuel tank.

9.8 Shutdown and storage

Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure
place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or similar
must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised use –
particularly by children.
For stops longer than four weeks the following steps
should be carried out:
• Empty and clean the fuel tank at a well-ventilated
location.
• Start the engine with an empty fuel tank. Run the
engine until the carburettor is empty and the
engine stalls. Otherwise the carburettor nozzles
could become encrusted with residual fuel mixture
and make a subsequent start harder.
• Clean the power tool well (particularly the air intake
openings, the cylinder fins, the air filter and the fuel
filler area).
• Preferably, store the equipment in a dry and secure
place with a full fuel tank. Open flames or similar
must not be nearby. Prevent unauthorised access
– particularly by children.
