Maintenance
Prior to each work day, perform the following:
Remove the dirt and debris from the engine, check the cool-
ing fins and air cleaner for clogging, and clean them as nec-
essary.
Carefully remove any accumulations of dirt or debris from
the silencer and fuel tank. Check cooling air intake area at
base of crankcase. Remove all debris. Dirt build-up in these
areas can lead to engine overheating, fire, or premature
wear.
Clean any debris or dirt from the cutting attachment.
Check for loose or missing screws or components. Make
sure the cutting attachment is securely fastened.
Check the machine for leaking fuel or grease.

tener and lifting.

Clean or replace as necessary.

Let element dry before reinstalling the element.
Replace air cleaner cover.

damaged or missing.
Remove and clean the spark plug. Adjust the spark plug elec-
trode gap to 0.6 mm. If the spark plug must be replaced, use only
an NGK BPMR6A or equivalent resistor type spark plug of the
correct heat range.
IMPORTANT
Before removing the spark plug, clean the area around the plug
to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the engine's internal
parts.
