FUEL FILTER
•A clogged fuel filter may cause poor acceleration of the engine. Check periodically to see if the filter is clogged with dirt. The filter can be taken out of the fueling port using a small wire hook. Disconnect the filter assembly from the fuel pipe and unhook the retainer to disassemble it. Clean the components with gasoline.

SPARK PLUG
•The spark plug may gather carbon deposits on its firing end with reasonable use. Remove and inspect the spark plug every 25 hours and clean the electrodes as necessary with a wire brush. The spark gap should be adjusted to .025 in (0.6 to 0.7mm).
•Plug manufacturers recommend replacing the plug twice a year to avoid unexpected plug failure in a job.
REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7H.
IMPORTANT

•Note that using any spark plugs other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becom- ing overheated and damaged.
•To install the spark plug, first turn the plug with your hands until it is tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.
MUFFLER
WARNING
•Periodically inspect the muffler for loose fasteners, damage or corro- sion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, do not use the blower and have it repaired immediately.
1.Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent and cylinder exhaust port at the same time.
2.Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.
SPARK ARRESTER
