Daily maintenance 

• 

Clean the exterior of the unit. 

• 

Check the blade guard for damage or cracks. Change the guard in case of impacts or cracks.

• 

Remove it and check the electrode gap. Adjust it to 0.6 mm, or change the spark plug. 

• 

Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and make sure the air intake at the starter is not clogged. 

• 

Check that the angle gear is filled with grease up to ¾. 

• 

Clean the air filter.
