  • Page 3: General Recommendations

    General recommendations Remember: Never start the engine without the clutch and clutch drum mounted. Do not grasp hot elements such as the muffler or the clutch before they have cooled sufficiently to avoid burn injuries. Avoid getting petrol on you skin or in your mouth. Use protective cream on your hands.

  • Page 9: Checking The Ignition Spark

    The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system completely without moving parts. Conse- quently, a faulty component cannot be repaired, but must be replaced by a new component. The spark in an electronic ignition system has a very short burn time and can therefore be interpreted as weak and can be difficult to see while troubleshooting.
  • Page 10 Electrical system If no spark occurs, disconnect the stop switch. Replace the switch if necessary The stop switch can be easily detached with a screwdriver. Still no spark? Check the ignition cable’s connection to the spark plug cover. Still no spark? Check other cables and connections.

  • Page 17: Air Filter

    In addition to the fuel tank and carburettor, the fuel system consists of the air filter, fuel filter and tank venting. All these components interact so that the engine receives the optimal mixture of fuel and air to make it as efficient as possible.

    Centrifugal clutch Contents Dismantling ________________________________ 30 Assembly _________________________________ 32 Clutch drum _______________________________ 32...
  • Page 33 The centrifugal clutch has the task of transferring the power from the engine to the cutting equipment’s drive axle. As the name implies, it works according to a centrifugal principle. This means the clutch’s friction shoes are thrown out- wards towards the clutch drum at a certain engine speed. When the friction against the drum is sufficiently great it drives the drive shaft at the same speed as the engine.
  • Page 34 Centrifugal clutch Dismantle the clutch from the crank- shaft. 502 54 15-01 Remove the 3 bolts and separate the clutch. Twist apart the clutch. Clean and inspect the different parts with regard to wear or other damage. Replace the spark plug with piston stop no.
  • Page 35 Centrifugal clutch Assembly Temporarily place the clutch shoes on the driving disc and loosely tighten the bolts. Pry out the shoes and hook one spring to each shoe from underneath. Get in the clutch shoes as far as possible and hook the springs to the adjacent clutch shoe.

    The cylinder and the piston are two of the compo- nents exposed to most strain in the engine. They must withstand, for example, high speeds, large tempera- ture swings and high pressure. Moreover, they must be resistant to wear. Despite these tough working conditions, major piston and cylinder failure is rela- tively uncommon.

    Cylinder and piston Cleaning, inspection After dismantling, clean the individual components: 1. Scrape carbon deposits from the top of the piston. 2. Scrape carbon deposits from the cylinder’s combustion chamber. 3. Scrape carbon deposits from the cylinder’s exhaust port. NOTE! Scrape carefully with not too sharp a tool so as not to damage the soft aluminium parts.

    Crankshaft and crankcase The task of the crankshaft is to transform the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotation. This requires a stable design withstanding immense pressure and rotational and bending strain, as well as high rotational speed. In addition the connecting rod is exposed to large acceleration and retardation forces as it moves between the top and bottom dead centres.
