3. Tighten the screws that hold the starter.

To clean the air filter

Clean the air filter from dirt and dust regularly. This

prevents carburetor malfunctions, starting problems,

loss of engine power, wear to engine parts and more

fuel consumption than usual.
1. Remove the air filter cover and the air filter.
2. Use a brush or shake the air filter clean. Use

detergent and water to clean it fully.

Note: An air filter that is used for a long time can not

be fully cleaned. Replace the air filter regularly and

always replace a defective air filter.

3. Attach the air filter and make sure that the air filter

seals tightly against the filter holder.

Note: Because of different work conditions, weather or

season, your product can be used with different types of

air filter. Speak to your servicing dealer for more

information.

To do a check of the spark plug

CAUTION: Use the recommended spark

plug. Refer to

Technical data on page 29

An incorrect spark plug can cause damage

to the product.

1. If the product is not easy to start or to operate or if

the product operates incorrectly at idle speed,

examine the spark plug for unwanted materials. To

decrease the risk of unwanted material on the spark

plug electrodes, do these steps:
a) make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
b) make sure that the air filter is clean.

2. Clean the spark plug if it is dirty.
3. Make sure that the electrode gap is 0.50 mm/0.020

in.

4. Replace the spark plug monthly or more frequently if

necessary.

functions of the product. Refer to
