8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
DANGER! Do not carry out any
checks, maintenance and repair
operations with engine running.
SPARK PLUG
At least once a year or if the engine has
problems starting up properly, check the
condition of the spark plug.
Wait for the engine to cool before ope-
ration.
1) Remove the cap and unscrew the spark
plug with the wrench provided (g. 6). If the
electrodes are excessively soiled or are
very worn, replace the spark plug with an
equivalent one (g. 7).
Excessive soiling may be due to:
- The oil ratio used in fuel is too high and/or
oil is not of an appropriate type.
- Air lter is partly clogged.
2) Screw the spark plug manually as far
as possible to avoid damaging its socket.
Use the wrench provided only to tighten it
(g. 6).
3) Do not carry out repairs on the machine
(if you are not qualied to do so). Contact an
authorised service centre.
4) GEARBOX (g. 8)
Add grease to the gearbox every 40 hours
of operation by using the appropriate gre-
ase nipple (g. 8 part. 1).
DANGER! In order to maintain the
original safety features, do not
make any changes to the machi-
ne.
In case of repairs, only use genuine
spare parts.
AIR FILTER
Periodically clean the air lter (at least every
20 hours); more frequently when working in
dusty areas.
1) Unscrew the wing nut from the cover
(g. 9).
2) Wash with petrol.
3) Dry the lter before replacing it (g. 9).
Replace the lter if it is damaged so as
not compromise engine life.
FUEL INTAKE FILTER
Replace the lter once a year by removing it
with a hook through tank-relling outlet.
ENGINE IDLING SPEED

cut ting blade does not move when
engine is idling.
- If the blade tends to turn, contact a service
centre for adjustment.
CHECKING SCREWS, FIXED PARTS AND
MOVING PARTS
- Before each use, check that there are no
loose or damaged parts or screws and that
there are no cracks or signs of wear on the
cutting blades.
