Perform maintenance frequently as indicated in the
following table:
8.1.1. AIR FILTER
The obstruction of the air filter will cause the
performance of the engine to decrease. If necessary,
inspect and clean this element. If any damage or
alteration is observed, replace it with a new one.
To clean the dirt on the filter open the cover unscrew
the lid and remove the filter.
The dust on the surface of the filter can be removed
by hitting a corner of the filter against a hard surface.
If compressed air is used always blow from the inside,
to ensure better cleaning.
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.
