8. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Servicing the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by starving air to the
carburettor. Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter
should be checked after every 25 hours of use and cleaned if
necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be
checked more frequently.
1. Remove the screw in the air filter
cover with the screwdriver supplied.
Lift off the air filter cover.
2. Remove the air filter and clean it by
tapping or blowing it.
3. Assemble in reverse order.
Maintenance of the spark plug
Spark plug sparking gap = 0.6mm.
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after
10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it
with a copper wire brush.
Thereafter service the spark plug after every
50 hours of operation.
1. Dismantle the protective
cap using a screwdriver.
3. Remove the spark plug with the supplied
spark plug wrench.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Sharpening safety guard knife
1. The safety guard knife can become blunt over
time.
When you notice this, undo the two screws
holding the knife to the safety guard.
2. Clamp the knife in a vise. Sharpen the knife with a
flat file and make sure that the angle of the cutting
edge is not altered in the process.
File in one direction only.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER
CLEAN THE AIR
FILTER WITH PETROL OR
INFLAMMABLE SOLVENTS.
IMPORTANT:
REMOVE ALL GRASS AND WEED
REMAINS AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO PREVENT
THE SHAFT TUBE OVERHEATING. GRASS AND WEED
REMAINS BECOME TRAPPED UNDER THE SAFETY
GUARD, AND THEY PREVENT THE SHAFT TUBE
RECEIVING ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
