1. Spark plug.
Wait until the engine has cooled before
disconnecting the spark plug cover and
then removing the spark plug with the box
spanner supplied. If it is dirty, you can clean
the plug with a wire brush.
The applicable spark plug for this machine
is the NGK BPMR7A. For optimum results
we advise you to replace the spark plug
after 20 hours of use.
When refi tting the spark plug take care not
to over-tighten. If adjusting yourself, note
that the spark plug gap must be set initially
to 0.6 see
(Figure 12)
but after the machine
has been used for some time, regulate the
gap to 0.7 mm.
2. Air fi lter.
Ensure that the engine is cool, remove the
air fi lter cover and then take out the air fi lter
element, see
(Figure 13)
. Put the cover
back on the housing immediately to prevent
any objects falling into the air intake.
Carefully brush off any excess dirt particles,
or clean fi lter element using lukewarm soapy
water. When cleaning with water, rinse
thoroughly and allow to dry before replacing
air fi lter element.
