7.3. CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will restrict the flow of air to the
carburettor thus losing power, working less effectively
and increasing the consumption of petrol. Remember
to always check the cleanliness of the air filter,
especially in areas of extreme dustiness.
Cleaning the air filter:
1. Unscrew the wing nuts that hold the air filter cover.
2. Remove the air filter cover.
3. Remove the air filter and grille.
4. Clean the air filter with
tepid soaped water.
5. Let the air filter dry.
6. When the air filter is dry,
dampen it lightly with some
oil (the oil increases the capacity
of the filter to retain
small particles).
7. Replace the air filter and grille
into place.
8. Replace the air filter cover.
9. Screw back on the wing nuts.
Note: The machine should never run without the air
filter.
7.4. SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
The most common problems when starting the
machine are due to a dirty spark plug or to a spark
plug in a bad state. Clean the spark plug and check it
regularly. Check that the distance between electrodes
is correct (0.6-0.7mm).
Dismounting the spark plug:
1. Remove the spar plug cap.
2. Insert a spark plug key.
3. Unscrew the spark plug.
Mounting the spark plug:
1. Replace the spark plug in place.
2. With your hand, screw the spark plug several
times. It is important to do this, so as to ensure
that the spark plug is screwed on correctly. If
you start screwing the spark plug with the key, the
possibilities of introducing the spark plug in a
wrong position, will be increased.
3. Once you are sure that the spark plug has entered
correctly, insert the key and screw the spark plug
further. The tightness should be between 12 and
15 Nm.
7.5. CLEANING THE PETROL DEPOSIT FILTER
With use and time, dirt will accumulate in the inside
of the deposit and this dirt could block the admission
of the petrol deposit or that of the carburettor. To
minimise this risk, the machine has a filter in the entry
of the petrol deposit.
Cleaning the petrol deposit filter:
1. Remove the petrol deposit cap.
2. Remove the filter.
3. Clean the filter with petrol.
4. Dry the filter.
5. Replace the filter.
