Air filter

 

 Caution. 

 NEVER operate this unit without the air filter as dust and dirt will be 

sucked into the engine and damage it. Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce 

engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive particles to pass 

into the engine. Remove the air filter as often as necessary and maintain a clean 

condition of the filter and cylinder fins.

  To Clean The Air Filter:

1.  Loosen knob (A) holding the air filter  

cover in place, remove cover (B) and  

lift out the filter (C) (Fig 7).

2. Wash the filter in soap and water.  

DO NOT USE PETROL!

3. Air dry the filter.
4.  Reinstall the air filter. 

 Note. 

 Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or unable to be cleaned.

Carburettor ADJUSTMENT

The carburettor is pre-set at the factory for optimum performance. If further 

adjustments are necessary take your unit to a qualified service dealer.

Spark plug

Starting failure is often caused by a fouled spark plug. Periodically  

clean the spark plug and replace with a new one if necessary.

 Note. 

 Spark plug gap = .025 in. (.635mm) (Fig 8).

1. Remove the spark plug cover (20). 
2.  Use the spark plug spanner supplied to remove the spark plug,  

by turning it counter-clockwise. (Torque to 130 inch pounds (15 Nm)

3.  Clean and adjust the spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7mm. Replace any damaged or visibly 

worn plug with a new spark plug - model NGK BPMR7A or CHAMPION CJ7Y.

4.  Install the spark plug finger tight, then tighten  

with the spark plug spanner. Do not over-tighten. 

 

 Note. 

 If your spark plug becomes worn, replacements are available for purchase.  

Please refer to page 22 for further detail.
