Instruction Manual
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING & STORAGE
WARNING
Improper maintenance & storage of the machine may void your warranty.
Keep the machine clean for better and safer performance.
MAINTENANCE
•
Before each use, check all nuts & bolts to be sure they are sufficiently tightened.
• We recommend only manufacturer original parts are used when maintaining this machine. Failure to do so
could invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty.
• The engine must be switched off, with the spark plug cap removed, before the machine is unassembled,
cleaned, serviced or maintained.
ADJUSTING CARBURETOR
Do not adjust carburetor unless necessary. If you have trouble with the carburetor, see your dealer. Improper
adjustment may cause engine damage and void warranty.
SPARK PLUG
Check the Spark Plug after every 10-15 hours of use.
• Remove the Spark Plug cap
• Using the Spark Plug Spanner supplied, remove the Spark Plug by turning it anti-clockwise.
• Clean & adjust the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7mm
• If the Spark Plug is visibly damaged or worn, replace immediately (See Specification for details)
•
Install the new/cleaned Spark Plug to finger tightness, before fully tightening with the spanner.
CLEANING
Keep your machine clean.
Thoroughly clean the machine at the end of each use, paying particular attention to cuttings in and around
the guard and cutting tool.
AIR FILTER
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption and allow abrasive
particles to pass in the engine. Remove & clean the air filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
• Remove the air filter cover, by releasing the securing winged screw from the front of the cover.
•
Lift off the cover.
•
Remove the sponge air filter from the housing.
• Tap the filter to remove light surface dust.
• Heavy deposits should be washed out of the Air Filter in soapy water. Allow the filter to dry completely.
FUEL FILTER
• The fuel tank is fitted with a filter. It is situated at the free end of fuel pipe and can be picked out through
the fuel filler neck, with a piece of hooked wire or similar.
• Check the fuel filter periodically. Do not allow dust to enter into the fuel tank. A clogged filter will cause
difficulty in starting the engine or abnormalities in engine performance.
• When the filter is dirty, replace the filter.
• When the inside of the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing the tank out with petrol.
SUCTION & BLOWER TUBES
•
It is advisable to remove the Suction & Blower tubes from the machine regularly for cleaning.
• Use Soapy water to remove any dirt or grime.
ENGINE STARTING & STOPPING PROCEDURE
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Place the machine onto a flat, firm surface.
2. Keep the machine clear of any surrounding objects
3. Move the stop switch to "START" position
4. Give a gentle push on the primer pump repeatedly (7-10 times) until fuel comes into the primer pump.
5. Pull the Choke Lever up to close the choke
6. Whilst holding the machine down with your left hand, away from the engine and pull the engine recoil
starter rope vigorously, until the engine false starts.
(DO NOT LET THE RECOIL STARTER ROPE RETRACT BY ITSELF, FEED THE ROPE BACK INTO THE HOUSING)
7. Push the choke lever downwards (excessive cranking with choke lever up will cause the engine to flood,
making it difficult to start.)
8. Pull starter handle until engine starts.
IMPORTANT
When the engine starts, for maximum performance and operating life, allow the engine to warm before use.
9. Run the engine at idle speed until operating temperature is reached (2 to 3 minutes).
10. As the engine warms, open the choke gradually by slowly pushing the choke control into the fully open
position.
11. The engine should now be ready to use.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Move the switch to "START" position
2. If the fuel tank was run dry on previous operation, follow steps 3-7 of cold start procedure.
3. Whilst holding the machine down with your left hand, away from the engine and pull the engine recoil
starter rope vigorously, until the engine starts.
IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START
1. Repeat the appropriate starting procedures for “hot” or “cold” engine. If the engine still will not start,
follow the “Starting a Flooded Engine” procedure (below).
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
1. Disconnect the spark plug cap & lead, and use the spark plug spanner to remove the plug in an anti-
clockwise direction.
