MAINTENANCE
Two minute rule
The machine may be tipped backward or on its side
to facilitate access for cleaning or service, but no
longer than 2 minutes.
If the machine is held in this position for too long,
the engine can be damaged by gasoline draining
into the crankcase. Should this happen, perform an
extra oil change on the engine. Remove the spark
plug and turn the engine over a few revolutions with
the starter handle before starting the engine again.
Cleaning and washing
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the
machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean the
machine directly after use, before the dirt sticks.
Check before rinsing that the fuel tank lid is
properly in place to avoid getting water in the tank.
Use caution when using high-pressure spray
because warning decals, instruction signs and the
engine can be damaged. Do not exceed 70 bar/
1000 PSI water pressure when cleaning.
Lubricate the machine after cleaning. This is
particularly important if the machine is to be stored.
Adjusting the brake
For coarse adjustment of the brake tension, do the
following:
Undo the nuts (A) and adjust the brake cable mounting
by tension force in the handle.
For fine adjustment of the brake tension, do the
following:
Undo the setscrew (1) on the brake lever knob.
Rotate the knob (2) counterclockwise to reduce the
tension and clockwise to increase the tension on
the brake.
