Cleaning The Engine; Checking The Fuel Filter; Replacing The Spark Plug - Ryobi RY3714 Operator's Manual

CLEANING THE ENGINE

See Figures 67 - 68.
Clean the cylinder fins and flywheel fins with com-
pressed air periodically. Dangerous overheating
of the engine may occur due to impurities on the
cylinder.
WARNING:
Never run the saw without all the parts, including
the clutch cover and starter housing, securely
in place.
Because parts can fracture and pose a danger
of thrown objects, leave repairs of the flywheel
and clutch to factory trained qualified service
center personnel.
NOTE: If you notice a power loss with the gas-
powered tool, the exhaust port and muffler may
be blocked with carbon deposits. These deposits
may need to be removed to restore performance.

CHECKING THE FUEL FILTER

See Figure 69.
Check the fuel filter periodically. Replace it if
contaminated or damaged.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG

See Figure 70.
This engine uses a Bosch WSR6F or Torch L7RTC
spark plug with .025 in. (0,64 mm) electrode gap.
Use an exact replacement and replace every 50
hours or more frequently, if necessary.
NOTICE:
Allow engine to cool before removing spark
plug. Removing spark plug from a hot engine
can cause serious damage to the chain saw.
 Loosen the spark plug by turning it counter-
clockwise with a wrench.
 Remove the spark plug.
 Hand thread the new spark plug, turning it
clockwise. Tighten securely with wrench.
NOTE: Be careful not to cross-thread the spark
plug. Cross-threading will damage the cylinder.
