If you come into contact with used oil, we recommend that you thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water.
Dispose of used oil according to environment protection laws. It is appropriate to deliver the
oil in a closed container to a used oil collection point. Under no circumstances should dispose
of the used oil with other waste or pour it down the drain, on to waste or on the floor.
MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without an air filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
Maintain the air filter according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the
engine supplied by its manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG
For the engine to run perfectly the spark plug must be correctly set and clean from deposits.
Always use only the spark plug specified by the engine's manufacturer!
If the engine was running shortly before the inspection or replacement, then the spark plug
will be very hot. So be very careful not to burn yourself.
}
Take off the spark plug cable and remove the spark plug using a wrench
key.
}
Visually inspect the exterior appearance of the spark plug. If the spark plug
is visibly significantly worn out or if the insulator is cracked or it is peeling,
it is necessary to replace it.
}
If the spark plug is soiled or only slightly worn, it is necessary to carefully
clean it with a suitable wire brush (copper).
}
Using a gauge measure set the distance of the electrodes ( User's manual
for the engine).
}
After performing maintenance on or replacing the spark plug, pull it tight in
position. An incorrectly tightened spark plug heats up significantly and may
cause serious damage to the engine.
Check, maintain and replace spark plugs according to the instructions contained in the
user's manual for the engine supplied by its manufacturer.
REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without a fuel filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
Replace the fuel filter according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the
engine supplied by its manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ENGINE COOLING
Before each use or during work check that the grille on the engine is not clogged with grass remains or
other objects. Clean the grille if necessary!
After every 100 hours of operation or once a year remove the fan cover and clean soiled and clogged
areas and the cooling fins of the engine. This will avoid the engine from overheating or being damaged.
Clean more frequently if necessary.

}
