8.1.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the
performance of the machine.
Check and clean this element. If you notice damage or
alterations to the filter, replace it with a new one.
1. Remove the protective cap from the filter.
2. Remove the filter.
3. You can clean the dust on the exterior of the filter
by hitting it against a hard surface.
4. Clean the filter with soapy water.
5. Rinse the filter with clean water.
6. Dry the filter.
7. Once dry, moisten it with 2 drops of oil (if you wet
the filter with too much oil the machine cannot
start).
8. Install the filter on the machine.
9. Put on the protective cap.
Note: The engine should never function without the air
filter installed.
8.1.2. FUEL FILTER
The fuel tank is equipped with a filter. It is located at
the end of the fuel suction pipe and can be removed
with the help of a wire hook.
Periodically check the fuel filter.
Do not allow dirt to be in the fuel tank to avoid the
filter being dirty. A dirty filter will cause difficulties in
starting the engine and anomalies in the operation, or
stopping of the engine.
Check the fuel. If you see dirt, replace it. If the inside
of the fuel tank is dirty you can clean it with petrol.
8.1.3. CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
When it comes to starting a machine, the most
common problems are produced by a dirty spark plug
or one in poor condition. Clean and check the spark
plug regularly.
Check that the electrode gap is correct (0.6 - 0.7
mm).
8.1.4. CLEANING THE CYLINDER FINS
The cylinder fins are responsible for the cooling of the
engine due to its contact with the air. These fins must
be clean and without any material including those that
limit the flow of air.
A few dirty fins will make the motor to overheat and
can be dangerous. Check the condition of the cylinder
fins regularly.
