Initial
• Check the rotor control cable and the pivot cable initially, and after the first hour of
operation. Adjust if necessary.
• Check for loose fasteners and tighten if necessary.
Annually
• Check the rotor control cable and the pivot cable. Adjust if necessary.
• Inspect the rotor blades and replace if necessary. Replace the scraper when you
replace the rotor blades.
• Inspect the scraper and replace if necessary. If the rotor blades are partially or
completely worn, replace the rotor blades when you replace the scraper.
• Inspect and gap the spark plug; replace if necessary.
• Inspect the drive belt and replace if necessary.
• For storage, add stabilizer, drain the fuel, and run the engine until the fuel tank and
the carburetor are empty.
• Check the pressure in the tires and inflate them to between 15 and 20 psi (103 and
137 kPa).
• Check for loose fasteners and tighten them if necessary.
CAUTION
If you leave the wire on the spark plug, someone could start the engine accidentally and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Disconnect the wire from the spark plug before you do any maintenance. Set the wire aside so
that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
