MAINTENANCE

Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it should be replaced. If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic

! converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin.

Remember the risk of fire!

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

1Air intake on the starter.

2Fins on the flywheel.

3Cooling fins on the cylinder.

4Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

5Muffler cover

6Muffler plate

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

Incorrect carburettor adjustment.

An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).

A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0,65 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

0,65

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/ cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.
