Checking the spark plug - Every 8 hours (Daily)
㪄㩷
Only use the supplied universal wrench to remove or to install the spark plug.
㪄㩷
The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.6 to
0.7mm. If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark plug is
clogged with carbon or fouled, clean it thoroughly or replace it. Use an exact
replacement.
Supply of grease and lubricant
㪄㩷
Supply grease from the grease nipple every 20 operating hours. (Shell
Alvania No.2 or equivalent)
NOTE:
Be sure to observe the specified time and amount of grease supply.
If the grease supply is not made at the specified interval or if the
amount of grease supplied is not sufficient, the machine may fall into a
trouble because of lack of grease.
Suction head in the fuel tank
㪄㩷
The felt filter (1) of the suction head is used to filter the fuel required by the
carburetor.
㪄㩷
A periodical visual inspection of the felt filter is to be conducted.
㪄㩷
For that purpose, open the tank cap, use a wire hook and pull out the suction
head through the tank opening.
Filters found to have hardened, been polluted or clogged up are to be
replaced.
㪄㩷
Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed being
exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the felt filter at least quarterly
to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.
Cleaning of muffler exhaust port
㪄㩷
Check of muffler exhaust port (2) regularly.
㪄㩷
If it is clogged by carbon deposits, carefully scratch the deposits out with a
suitable tool.
Do not allow carbon to fall into engine ports.
