6.8.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the engine casing. See
fig. 16. During removal/installation of the battery,
the following applies regarding connection of the
cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s
positive terminal (+).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-
bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
6.8.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal
grease.
6.9 AIR FILTER
The pre-filter (foam filter) (17:S) must be cleaned/
replaced after 25 hours of operation.
The air filter (paper filter) (17:T) must be cleaned/
replaced after 100 hours of operation.
NOTE! The filters should be cleaned/replaced
more often if the machine operates on dusty
ground.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1. Clean carefully around the air filter cover
(12:R).
2. Dismantle the air filter cover by removing the
two clamps.
3. Dismantle the filter assembly. The pre-filter is
placed over the air filter. Make sure that no dirt
gets into the carburettor. Clean the air filter
housing.
4. Clean the paper filter by tapping it gently
against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,
replace it.
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, re-
place it.
6. Assemble in the reverse order.
Compressed air or petroleum-based solvents such
as kerosene may not be used for cleaning the paper
filter insert. This will damage the filter.
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be
oiled.
6.10 SPARK PLUG
The spark plug(s) must be replaced every 200
hours of operation (=at every other basic service).
Use the spark plug key supplied.
Before disconnecting the spark plug, clean around
its mounting.
Spark plug: Champion RC12YC or equivalent..
Electrode distance: 0.75 mm.
6.11 AIR INTAKE (7:P)
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-
tem can damage the engine. Clean the engine’s air
intake after 50 hours of operation. More meticu-
lous cleaning of the cooling system is carried out
during each basic service.
6.12 LUBRICATION
All lubrication points in accordance with the table
below must be lubricated every 25 hours of opera-
tion as well as after every wash.
6.13 FUSE
In the event of electrical faults, check/replace the
fuse, 20 A. See fig. 20.
If the fault persists, contact an authorised work-
shop for repair.
