Spark Plug

An oily or carboned spark plug makes starting diffi- cult and decreases the efficiency of the engine. Periodically remove the spark plug and clean and adjust when necessary.

Gap setting 0.028 - 0.031".

Do not remove spark plug when engine is hot. Do not sand blast the spark plug to clean it.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Never run the engine without a filter or with a dirty filter. This will greatly reduce engine efficiency and lead to engine damage. Your lawnmower is fitted with an Air Cleaner, the mainte- nance for which is as follows:-

Check the filter before each use.

Clean every 25 hrs or more frequently when used in dusty areas.

Replace filter every 200 hrs.

1.Press the latch tabs on the top of the air cleaner cover and remove the cover.

2.Check the filter is clean and in good condition.

If the filter is dirty:-

Tap the air filter several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air through the air filter from the clean side that faces the engine. Never try to brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers.

3.Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body and cover using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.

4.Replace the filter and air cleaner cover.

Caring for your Lawnmower

If you do not intend to use your lawnmower for long periods it is advisable to follow this proce- dure after use:

1.Stop the engine.

2.Fully close the fuel tap. (K)

Cleaning - USE GLOVES

Keep your lawnmower clean - grass clippings left in any of the air intakes, around the engine or under the deck could become a potential fire hazard.

Do not clean with chemicals, including petrol, or

solvents - some can destroy critical plastic parts.

1.Remove grass from under the deck with a piece of wood or similar.

2.Using a soft brush - remove grass clippings from around the engine and from all air intakes.

3.Remove the fan, See 'Removing and Fitting the Blade and Fan', and clean with a soft brush.
