WARNING!

blade for cracks or other damage.

immediately!

Daily Maintenance

Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
 Remove dirt or debris from the
engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging and clean
them as necessary.
 Carefully remove any
accumulation of dirt or debris
from the muffler or the fuel tank.
Dirt build-up in these areas could
cause engine overheating, induce
premature wear, or create a fire
hazard.
 Check for loose or missing screws
or components. Make sure the
cutting attachment is securely
fastened.
 Check the entire unit for leaking
fuel or grease.
10-Hour Maintenance
If the machine is used in dusty or
dirty conditions, perform the periodic
maintenance more frequently.
Remove the air cleaner filter. See
figure 30. Clean or replace as
necessary. To clean filter wash it
thoroughly in soap and water. Let it
dry before reinstalling the filter.
