REGULAR MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
Maintenance Interval:
The air filter should be cleaned daily or more often when
working in extremely dusty conditions and replaced after
every 100 hours of operation.
Air Filter Cleaning
1. Remove the air filter cover and the foam filter.
2. Clean the foam filter with warm, soapy water. Let the
element dry completely.
3. Apply a light coat of SAE 30 motor oil to the foam filter
and squeeze out all excess oil.
4. Reassemble the foam filter and the air filter cover.
FUEL FILTER
Maintenance Interval:
The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100 hours of
operation.
Maintenance:
The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up hose
inside the fuel tank. To replace the fuel filter, first make sure
the fuel tank is empty. Remove the fuel cap. Using a wire
hook, gently pull the fuel filter out though the fuel filter
opening. Grasp the fuel hose next to the fuel filter fitting
and remove the filter
but do not release the hose.
While
still holding on to the fuel hose, attach the new fuel filter.
Drop the fuel filter back into the fuel tank. Make sure that the fuel filter is not stuck in a corner of
the tank and that the fuel hose is not doubled over (kinked) before refueling.
SPARK PLUG
Maintenance Interval:
The spark plug should be removed from the engine and
checked after each 25 hours of operation and replaced
after every 100 hours of operation.
Maintenance:
With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, loosen the
cylinder cover screw and lift off the cylinder cover. (Refer to
the illustration shown in the following CYLINDER COOLING
FINS section.) Twist the high tension lead boot on the
spark plug back and forth a couple of times to loosen boot then pull the boot off of the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug. The electrodes can be cleaned with a stiff brush. Adjust the electrode air
gap to 0,6-0,7 mm (0,024-0,028 in.). Replace the spark plug if it is oil-fouled, damaged or if the
electrodes are worn down.
Do not overtighten the spark plug when installing.
The tightening
torque is 10.7-16.6Nm (95-148 in. lbs.). Reinstall the cylinder cover.
