■MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

FUEL FILTER

When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel filter for blockage. (MA9)

OIL STRAINER

Drain the oil tank and remove the oil strainer located near the spark plug. Check the condition and clean if necessary. (MA10)

SPARK PLUG

Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Periodically clean the spark plug and check that the spark gap is in the correct range. (MA11)

For a replacement plug, use Champion RCJ- 8Y(noise-proof) or CJ-8Y, or NGK BPMR6A.

DRIVE SPROCKET

Periodically check the drive sprocket for wear and damage, and replace when the teeth have worn over 0.04 inch, or when any damage has been observed. (MA12)

HANDLE MOUNTING JOINTS

Inspect the handle mounting joints and replace when any adhered part is peeled off or a crack is observed on the rubber part. Also replace when the inside of the rear damper metal has worn remarkably.
