MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER

NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port, muffler, and/or spark arrestor screen may become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians perform this service.

SPARK ARRESTOR

The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25 hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your prod- uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model.

REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER

See Figures 29 - 30.

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

n Remove the air filter cover by turning the knob counterclockwise while gently pulling on the cover.

nRemove the air filter and clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely.

NOTE: For best performance, replace annually.

nInstall the air filter. Align and install the air filter cover on the air filter base. Secure the air filter cover by turning the knob clockwise.

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor- mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loos- ened, check valve may be faulty or filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARK PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y or NGK BPMR7A spark plug with 0,63 mm (.025 in.) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.
