7•7 AIR FILTER CLEANING
To clean the air filter, please observe the information provided by the engine manufacturer (engine manufacturer operating instructions).
7•8 LONG STOP
PREPARATION
• Carefully clean the machine and in particular the underneath of the housing.
• Clean the air filter.
• Empty the petrol tank and turn the engine over until all the fuel still in the pipes and the carburettor is used.
This operation must be carried out outdoors (in the open air).
• Whilst the engine is still hot, empty the oil from the oil sump and fill up again with new oil of the right viscosity.
• Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml of engine oil into the cylinder. Pull gently on the starter until you feel a compression : the valves
are then closed and protected against corrosion.
• Store the weed-brush in a clean, dry place, on planks or a sheet of metal.
STARTING UP AGAIN
• Unscrew the spark plug, clean it with petrol and leave it to dry.
• Pull several times on the starter to eliminate the excess oil in the cylinder.
• Put back the dry spark plug.
• Check the oil level. Fill up with fuel.
• Start the engine.
Of course you may leave this seasonal maintenance work to your ETESIA dealer if you wish. He will check that your weed-brush is in good
condition...so that it starts first go the following spring.
