REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
CAUTION:
Do not touch the spark plug or plug cap if the engine is running (high voltage).
The spark plug must be replaced in case of damage to the insulator, electrode erosion (bum) or if the
electrodes are very dirty or oily.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the pressure relief valve when unscrewing the spark plug, position
the combination tool so that you do not touch the valve.
Steps of removing spark plug:
1. Open the engine cover with the screwdriver
2. Remove 3 clips from the cover of the air filter
3. Unscrew the other screw on the side of the cover
4. Remove the whole cover of the air filter
5. Remove the ignition coil cap
6. Then remove the spark plug
7. Replace the spark plug by a similar model. Ask advice to the service agent.
8. Reassemble this part of the machine in reverse order.
Checking the Ignition spark
Insert the combination tool between the ventilation and cylinder.
CAUTION!
Do not Insert the com bination tool into the spark plug hole but make contact only with the cylinder
(otherwise you may damage the engine).
Using insulated pliers, hold the spark plug (unscrewed but with the plug cap on) against the combination tool
(away from the spark plug hole).
Switch the combination switch to
“ON/I”.
Pull the starter cable hard.
If the function is correct, an ignition spark must be visible near the electrodes.
REPLACING THE SUCTION HEAD
The filter (5) of the suction head can become dogged; It is
recommended to replace the suction head once every three
months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the carburetor.
Unscrew the tank cap (6), pull the retainer out of the opening.
Empty fuel tank.
Use a wire hook to pull the suction out of the tank opening for
replacement.
Caution: Do not allow fuel to meet skin!
