MAINTENANCE
_
ARNING:
If the idle speed can-
not be adjusted
so that the cutting
attachment
stops, contact your ser-
vicing dealer. Do not use the ma-
chine until it has been correctly ad-
justed or repaired.
Unit/Maintenance
Safety
Disconnect
the spark
plug before perform-
ing maintenance,
except
carburetor
adjust-
ments.
Muffler
CAUTION!
Muffler is fitted with a catalytic
converter
designed
to reduce
harmful ex-
haust gases.
The muffler
is designed
to reduce the noise
level and to direct the exhaust
gases away
from the operator. The exhaust gases are
hot and can contain sparks,
which may
cause fire if directed
against
dry and com-
bustible
material.
Mufflers are equipped
with a special
spark
arrestor
mesh. The mesh should
be
checked
and. if necessary,
cleaned
by a
servicing
dealer. If the mesh
is damaged,
it should
be replaced,
if the mesh is fre-
quently
blocked,
this can be a sign that the
performance
of the catalytic
converter
is
impaired.
Contact
your servicing
dealer to
inspect the muffler. A blocked
mesh will
cause the machine
to overheat
and result
in damage
to the cylinder
and piston.

CAUTION!
Never use a machine
that has
a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler
bolts are tight.

WARNING:
Mufflers fitted with
catalytic converters
get very hot
during use and remain so for some
time after stopping. This also ap-
plies at idle speed. Contact can re-
sult in burns to the skin. Remember
the risk of fire!
WARNING:
The inside of the
muffler contain chemicals that may
be carcinogenic.
Avoid contact with
these elements in the event of a
damaged
muffler.
&
WARNING:
Bear in mind that:
Engine exhaust fumes contain car-
bon monoxide, which can cause
carbon monoxide
poisoning.
For
this reason you should not start or
run the machine indoors, or any-
where that is poorly ventilated.
The exhaust fumes from the engine
are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start
the machine indoors or near com-
bustible
material!
Spark plug
The spark
plug condition
is influenced
by:
• Incorrect
carburetor
adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture
(too much or in-
correct type of oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits
on the spark
plug electrodes,
which may result in operat-
ing 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
0.024" (0.6 ram). The spark plug should
be
replaced
after about a month
in operation
or
earlier if necessary.
CAUTION!
Always
use the recommended
spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark
plug can damage
the piston/cylinder.
