SPARK PLUG
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
- A dirty air filter.
- Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in malfunction and/or starting difficulties.
If the engine is low on power, difficult to start, or runs
poorly at idling speed, always check the spark plug first.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode
gap. The spark plug should be replaced after about 100
operation hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly
corroded.
In some areas, local legislation requires using a resistor
spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If the engine was
originally equipped with a resistor spark plug for
replacement, you have to choose the same type of spark
plug whenever you replace it.
MUFFLER
Detach the muffler and remove any excess carbon from
the exhaust port or muffler inlet from time to time in order
to avoid power-loss

Daily maintenance:
- Clean the exterior of the unit.
Weekly maintenance:

work ropes, slings and harness, are not damaged in any way that
can cause cuts on the textiles.
- Check that the “kit” in the small black bag is complete.
- Remove the spark plug and check the electrode gap.
- Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and check that the air
intake at the starter is not clogged. Clean the air filter.
Monthly maintenance:
- Rinse the fuel tank with petrol and run the engine until it stops.
- Clean the exterior of the carburettor and the space around it.
- Clean the fan and the space around it.
