INSTRUCTION MANUAL
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.
STORAGE

carburetor, which is not covered by the machines manufacturer’s warranty.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
