CMR6A
MAINTENANCE
Starter Unit
Use a brush to keep the cooling vents of the starter assembly free
and clean of debris (Fig. 92).
WARNING: The coil spring is under tension and
could fly apart causing serious injuries. Never try to
disassembly or modify it.
92
Engine
Clean the cylinder & flywheel fins with compressed air or a brush
periodically (Fig. 93). Dangerous overheating of engine may occur
due to impurities on the cylinder.
WARNING: Never run the saw without all the parts,
including the drivecase cover and starting housing,
securely in place.
Because parts can fracture and pose a danger of
thrown objects, leave repairs to the flywheel and
clutch to trained Servicing Dealers.
93
Spark Plug
This engine uses a NGK CMR6A with .02" (0.5 mm) electrode gap
(Fig. 94). Use an exact replacement and replace every six months
or more frequently, if necessary.
WARNING: Never test the ignition system with igni-
tion wire connector removed from spark plug or with
unseated spark plug, since uncontained sparking
may cause a fire. A loose connection between spark
plug terminal and ignition wire connector in the boot
may create arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
94
Use only resistor type spark plugs of the approved range.
Factors such as:
- too much oil in fuel mix;
- dirty air filter;
- unfavourable running conditions, e.g. operating at part load;
may result in rapid deterioration of the spark plug.
Spark Arresting Muffler
The chainsaw is provided with a Spark Arrester System p.n.
50050204 (Fig. 95) complying with the requirements of SAE J335
95
standard; you can check the p.n. of the Spark Arrester System on
the muffler itself.
WARNING: A faulty or altered spark arrester system
screen can create a fire hazard.
Through normal use the screen can become dirty and should be
inspected weekly and cleaned as required.
To clean:
• Allow the muffler to cool.
• Remove the two (2) muffler nuts (B).
