9. Maintenance

WARNING

Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the machine. Contact with moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.

AIR FILTER

The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine perfor- mance. Check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as required. Dry completely before in- stalling. If the element is broken or shrunk, replace with a new one.

(1) Air filter

FUEL FILTER

When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel cap and the fuel filter for blockage.

MUFFLER

WARNING

Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasten- ers, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of ex- haust leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it repaired immediately.

Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.

GEAR CASE

The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in the gear case. Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more often depend- ing on the job condition.

(For the engine)

Remove the bolt of the grease nipple and the bolt opposite side of the grease nipple. Install new grease into the grease nipple to arrange for old grease to exit from the opposite side.

(For the cutting head)

Remove the cutter holders before installing new grease to arrange for old grease to exit.

SPARK PLUG

Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that the plug gap is in the correct range. For a re- placement plug, use the correct type specified by

KOMATSU ZENOAH.

0.6-0.7 mm

REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK BPMR7A.

IMPORTANT

Note that using any spark plug other than those des- ignated may result in the engine failing to operate prop- erly or in the engine becoming overheated and dam- aged.

To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.
