WARNING

Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the blower. Contact with rotating blower fan or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.

AIR CLEANER

Check the air cleaner every 25 hours of use or more frequently if used under dusty conditions. A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine power. Never operate the blower without the air filter or with a deformed filter element because unfiltered dusty air may quickly ruin the engine.

CLEANING AIR FILTER:

1.Remove the air cleaner cover.

2.Use neutral detergent and warm water to clean the filter element. After cleaning, air dry the element completely.

3.Reinstall the filter.

Never forget to attach the screen. If the screen is not attached, the cleaner will not seal properly and the dusts come into the cylinder.

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 (0.6~0.7mm).
