MAINTENANCE, CLEANING & STORAGE
WARNING
Improper maintenance & storage of the machine may void your warranty.
Keep the machine clean for better and safer performance.
MAINTENANCE
Before each use, check all nuts & bolts to be sure they are sufficiently tightened.
We recommend only manufacturer original parts are used when maintaining this machine. Failure to do so could
invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty.
The engine must be switched off, with the spark plug cap removed, before the machine is unassembled, cleaned,
serviced or maintained.
ADJUSTING CARBURETOR
Do not adjust carburetor unless necessary. If you have trouble with the carburetor, see your dealer. Improper adjustment
may cause engine damage and void warranty.
SPARK PLUG
Check the Spark Plug after every 10-15 hours of use.
Remove the Spark Plug cap
Using the Spark Plug Spanner supplied, remove the Spark Plug by turning it anti-clockwise.
Clean & adjust the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7mm
If the Spark Plug is visibly damaged or worn, replace immediately (See Specification for details)
Install the new/cleaned Spark Plug to finger tightness, before fully tightening with the spanner.
CLEANING
Keep your machine clean.
Thoroughly clean the machine at the end of each use, paying particular attention to cuttings in and around the guard and
cutting tool.
AIR FILTER
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive particles to
pass in the engine. Remove & clean the air filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
Remove the air filter cover, by releasing the securing winged screw from the front of the cover.
Lift off the cover.
Remove the sponge air filter from the housing.
Tap the filter to remove light surface dust.
Heavy deposits should be washed out of the Air Filter in soapy water. Allow the filter to dry completely.
FUEL FILTER
The fuel tank is fitted with a filter. It is situated at the free end of fuel pipe and can be picked out through the fuel filler
neck, with a piece of hooked wire or similar.
Check the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter into the fuel tank. A clogged filter will cause difficulty in
starting the engine or abnormalities in engine performance.
When the filter is dirty, replace the filter.
When the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing the tank out with petrol.
SUCTION & BLOWER TUBES
It is advisable to remove the Suction & Blower tubes from the machine regularly for cleaning.
Use Soapy water to remove any dirt or grime.
