CLEANING THE ENGINE

To reduce the risk of fire or overheating, periodically clean the cylinder fins and air vents with
compressed air and clear the silencer area to get rid of dust, branches, leaves or other debris.

GENERAL INSPECTION

Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely tightened and the hand grips are
securely fastened. If you notice signs of wear on the starting cable, contact your dealer for a
replacement. Frequently check for and replace any damaged parts.
CLEANING & CHANGING THE SPARK PLUG
• Periodically remove and clean the spark plug using a metal brush to get rid of any deposits.
• Check and reset the correct distance between the electrodes.
• Replace the spark plug and fasten it firmly using the supplied wrench.
• The spark plug must be replaced by one with the same characteristics whenever the electrodes
have burned or the insulation has worn, or every 100 working hours.

CLEAN THE AIR FILTER

IMPORTANT Cleaning the air filter is essential to guarantee the efficiency and duration of
the machine. Do not work with a damaged filter or without a filter, as this could permanently
damage the engine. The air filter must be cleaned after every 12 working hours.
Clean the filter as follows:
• Loosen the knob, remove the cover and the filter element
• Wash the filter with soap and water. Do not use petrol or other solvents.
• Leave the filter to dry in the open air.
• Fit the filter and the cover back on, tightening the knob again
WARNING! Never run the engine without the air filter installed.
