TO ASSEMBLE THE BLADE

1. Put the blade adaptor
on the engine
crankshaft. Make sure
the key in the adaptor
and crankshaft
keyway are aligned.
2. Always attach the
blade with the angled
ends pointing up in
the direction of the
engine.
3. Use a block of wood
between the blade
and product housing.
Tighten the blade bolt
and turn it clockwise.
4. Always tighten the
bolt with a torque of
33–40 ft-lb (45–55
Nm).
5. Make sure the spark plug cable is disconnected
from the engine.
CAUTION: To prevent accidental start,
always disconnect the spark plug cable and
put the wire where it cannot touch the spark
plug.
6. Pull the blade around by hand and make sure it
rotates freely.
TO MAINTAIN THE SPARK PLUG
1. Once the engine has
cooled, pull off the
spark cover with a
twist.
2. Remove the spark
plug using a spark
plug wrench (not
supplied).
3. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush (not
supplied).
4. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.467–0.61
mm.
5. Install the spark plug carefully by hand to avoid
cross-threading.
6. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with the
spark plug wrench to compress the washer.
TO MAINTAIN THE AIR FILTER
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by
supplying too little air to the carburetor. If the air
contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked
more frequently.
CAUTION! Never run the engine without the
air filter element installed.
1. Use a screwdriver (not provided) to loosen the
screw then remove the cover.
2. Remove the filter cartridge.
3. To loosen debris, gently tap the filter cartridge on
a hard surface. If the filter cartridge is excessively
dirty, replace with a new one.
CAUTION! Never clean the air filter
cartridge with gas or flammable solvents.
Clean the air filter cartridge only with
compressed air or by tapping it.
4. Install the filter
cartridge.
5. Close the cover
and secure it with
the screw.
