If the mesh is frequently
blocked, this can
be a sign that the performance
of the cata-
lytic converter
is impaired.
Contact
your
servicing
dealer to inspect the muffler. A
blocked
mesh wilt cause the machh_e to
overheat
and result in damage
to the cylin-
der and piston.

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 h_fluenced 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 inch (0.6
mm). The spark
plug should
be replaced
after about a month in operation
or earlier
if
necessary.
0.024 inch (0.6 mm)
I
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:
Carburetor
malfunctions
Starting
problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary
wear to engine parts
Excessive
fuel consumption
jfJ
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more
regularly
if conditions
are exceptionally
dusty.
Cleaning
the
air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the
filter, Wash it clean in warm, soapy water,
Rinse thoroughly.
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.
