spark plug gap--all models

Prior to each work day, perform the  

following:

 

Remove all dirt and debris from the 

engine, check the cooling fins and 

air cleaner for clogging, and clean as 

necessary.

 

Carefully remove any accumulations 

of dirt or debris from the muffler and 

fuel tank. Check cooling air intake 

area at base of crankcase.  Remove 

all debris. Dirt build-up in these areas 

can lead to engine overheating, fire, 

or premature wear.

 

Lubricate the blades before use and 

after refueling. Check the cutters for 

damage or incorrect adjustment.

Daily maintenance

 

Clean any debris or dirt from the 

cutting attachment.

 

Check for loose or missing screws 

or components. Make sure the cut-

ter attachment is securely fastened.

 

Check the entire unit for leaking 

fuel or grease.

 

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws 

(except carburetor idle speed 

adjusting screws) are tight.

Remove all dirt and debris from the 

engine and check the cooling fins

Once each week the filter should 

be cleaned with a solvent to loosen 

and flush out debris trapped 

between the filter halves. Allow the 

filter to dry thoroughly before using 

again. When the felt becomes 

unraveled the filter should be 

replaced. Replace air cleaner 

element and cover.
