CHANGE OIL:

WARNING: Drain oil while the engine is warm, being careful not to touch the hot engine nor
the drained oil.

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.

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 spilt.

WARNING: The length of time that Propane can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor with-
out causing functional problems will vary with such factors as Propane blend, your storage
temeratures, 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.

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.
