MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
External cleaning
• Check that all couplings, connections and cables are
intact and free from dirt.
• The blade is cooled by water being sprayed through small
holes in the blade guard. Make sure that these small holes
are unblocked so that the blade is properly cooled.
Air filter
For cleaning and change of air filter, read the operator's
manual supplied by the engine manufacturer.
• The air filter may need cleaning 2-3 times per day in
extremely dusty environments.
• A damaged air filter must always be replaced.
Spark plug
• If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking other steps.
• Ensure that the spark plug cap and ignition lead are
undamaged to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time
check the electrode gap. Replace if necessary. See the
supplied instruction manual for the engine.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difficulties.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of
oil).
• A dirty air filter.
