Lubricating The Gear Box; Suction Head In The Fuel Tank; Cleaning The Muffl Er Opening; Service And Maintenance - Makita BCM2600 Instruction Manual

Lubricating the gear box

D
After about 50 operating hours the gear box (D/8) should be
checked by a OLMAR service centre, and if necessary re-
grease.
The service centre will add the exact amount of grease, as
excessive grease will lead to overheating of the gearbox.
Servicing and maintenance
After about 50 tankfuls, have the brushcutter thoroughly inspected
at a MAKITA service centre.
No maintenance and adjustment work not described in this
manual may be performed by the user. Al such work must
be performed only by a MAKITA service centre.

Suction head in the fuel tank

E
The felt fi lter (E/9) of the suction head is used to fi lter the fuel
taken in by the carburetor.
A periodical visual inspection of the felt fi lter should be con-
ducted. For this purpose open the tank cap, and use a wire
hook to pull out the suction head through the tank opening. If
the fi lter has hardened or is dirty or clogged, replace it.
Insuffi cient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum
speed being exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the
felt fi lter at least every three months to ensure a good fuel sup-
ply to the carburetor.
Cleaning the muffl er opening
Regularly inspect the muffl er opening (E/8). When it becomes
clogged with carbon residues, carefully scrape them out with
the suitable tool.
