ly against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,

KEEP ENGINE CLEAN
The engine is air cooled. A blocked air system will
damage the engine.
The cylinder cooling flanges and air inlet should
be cleared of grass and dirt every 5 hours or every
day (fig 20 - 21). This is particularly important
when mowing dry grass.
The area around the silencer should be cleaned in
order to prevent fire.
Use compressed air or a brush for cleaning. Do not
clean the engine with water.
During prolonged mowing of dry grass, the inner
cooling fins on the engine may require cleaning.
Contact an authorised service centre.

Check and clean the spark plug after 100 running
hours.
Clean the spark plug using a wire brush (do not
sand blast) and reset the spark gap to 0.75 mm.
