CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The minute particles of foreign matter, that are
present in any fuel may, by accumulating and
partially obstructing fuel flow, cause engine
performance to become erratic and unreliable.
O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small)are available,
as optional extras, to deal with this problem.
One of these filters, fitted to the outlet tube inside
your refueling container, will prevent the entry of
foreign material into the fuel tank. It is also
recommended that a good in-line filter be installed
between the tank and carburetor.

Finally, inject some after-run oil into the engine.
Rotate the engine a few times by hand, to make sure
that it is free, and then with an electric starter for 4
to 5 seconds to distribute the oil to all the working
parts.
These procedures will reduce the risk of starting
difficulties and of internal corrosion after a period of
storage.
Do not inject after-run oil into the carburetor as this may
cause the O-rings inside the carburettor to deteriorate.

Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove
dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens.
Also, clean the carburetor itself occasionally.
At the end of each operating session, drain out any
fuel that may remain in the fuel tank. Next, energize
the glowplug and try ot restart the engine to burn off
any fuel that may remain inside the engine.
Repeat this procedure until the engine fails to fire.
Remove the glowplug and eject any remaining fuel/oil
residue by rotating the engine with an electric starter
for 4 to 5 seconds while the engine is still warm.
