CHANGE OIL:
See specic chapter for the oil to be used.
WARNING: Drain oil while the engine is warm, being careful not to touch the hot engine nor the drained oil.
a) Place the machine on a at surface.
b) Clean the area around the ller cap and unscrew the cap with dipstick.
c) Provide a suitable container for collecting the oil and unscrew the drain plug.
d) Ret the drain plug and fully tighten it having made sure that the gasket is in the right position.
e) Fill up with fresh oil.
f) Check that the oil level has reached the “MAX” notch on the dipstick.
g) Close the cap again and clean up any traces of oil that was possibly spilled.
NOTE: The oil capacity is about 2.0 Liter
WARNING: The length of time that propane can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such
factors as propane blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely lled. The air in a partially lled fuel
tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Propane will oxidize and deteriorate in storage.
Deteriorated propane will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. As a result, if the engine is not used for more
than one month, the fuel oil shall be drained thoroughly to prevent from deterioration of the fuel in the fuel system and carburetor. The failure of
the fuel system or engine performance arising from improper storage are beyond the scope of the warranty.
CLEAN SILENCER AND ENGINE:
Silencer must be cleaned when the engine is cold.
a) Use a jet of compressed air to remove any debris and dirt that could cause a re from the silencer and its protective cover.
b) Make sure that the cooling air intakes are not blocked.
c) Clean the plastic components with a sponge soaked in water and detergent.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE:
a) Clean debris in the air lter cap and rain cover.
b) Open the clips on the two sides of air lter cover.
c) Gently shake element up and down, take out air cleaner primary element and secondary element.
d) Tap the cartridge on a solid surface and blow it from the inside with compressed air to remove dust and debris.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water, petrol, detergents or any other products to clean the cartridge.
e) Clean the inside of the lter housing, making sure to block the inlet duct with a rag to prevent dust and debris from entering the engine.
f) Remove the rag blocking the air inlet duct. Reinstall the primary and secondary air lter elements.
g) Reinstall the air lter cover and secure it to the lter housing with the holding clips.
SPARK PLUG SERVICE:
a) Remove the spark plug using a spark plug socket wrench.
b) Clean the electrodes with a metal brush and remove any carbonaceous build-up.
c) Using a thickness gauge, check for the right gap (0.6-0.8mm) between the electrodes.
d) Install the spark plug and tighten with a socket wrench.
Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are burnt or if the porcelain is broken or damaged.
WARNING: Fire hazard! Do not check the ignition system with spark plug removed.
IMPORTANT: Use only spark plugs of the recommended type.
TUNING THE THROTTLE CABLE AND THE CARBURETOR:
Should the engine not reach maximum revs with the throttle trigger set to “FAST”, it could be due to the throttle trigger and speed control lever being out
of phase or to a carburetor problem. Go to a specialized center or contact your dealer to restore normal operation.
