7. TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Ÿ
Change engine oil after first month or after 20hrs operation and thereafter every 3
months or 50 hours of operation, in both cases whichever is sooner.
AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner every 3 months or after 50 hours operations, whichever is the
sooner. Clean by blowing away accumulated dust and soaking in kerosene.
SPARK PLUG
A correctly set spark plug in good condition is essential for efficient engine operation.
Check the plug every 3 months or after 50 hours operation, clean with a wire brush and
set the electrode gap to 0.7-0.8mm. If general conduction is unsatisfactory it should be
changed with a NGK (BPR5ES) or similar.
