• Use of a steamer to clean the machine is allowed. Do not spray excessive amounts of water on
the bearings, electric contacts and filler caps. Water is the number one cause of rust and this
must be avoided at all times. Allow the engine to cool down properly before treating it with
water.
• A number of additional points must be observed in the cleaning procedure before long term
storage of the machine (read § 12).
9.9 Fault diagnosis
9.9.1 The engine fails to start after idle periods:
If the machine fails to start up after a period of inactivity, this could be the result of either of the
following causes:
a) low on petrol
b) stale petrol
c) bad spark plug
d) low on oil
Caution:
Before examining possible reasons for the fault, make sure the ON/OFF switch
for the motor is turned to the OFF position.
a) Low on petrol
In § 12 - Storing the machine - you are advised to remove any residual petrol before long term
storage of the machine. If this slipped your mind, you may have forgotten to refill the machine.
Check that the tank is adequately filled and refuel if necessary (read § 9.4 refuelling).
Let the starter engine run for a while after refuelling. Close the throttle (choke) - the petrol will
be sucked into the line. The motor will start running as soon as the carburettor has filled.
b) Stale petrol
Petrol has a limited shelf life. Petrol that has been sitting in petrol tank for more than a few
months can cause starter problems. It also smells totally different than fresh petrol.
Pump out the contents of the fuel tank and refuel with fresh petrol. (Read § 9.4 Refuelling)
(Attention: take extreme caution; stale petrol is still highly flammable.)
