PETROL FILTER
The petrol deposit is equipped with a filter. It is located
in the extreme of the aspiration petrol tube and can be
removed using a wire shaped like a hook.
Check the petrol filter periodically. Do not allow dirt to
enter the petrol deposit to avoid the filter getting dirty.
A dirty filter will difficult the engine starting and will provoke

stop. Check the petrol. If you observe dirt, replace it.
If the interior of the petrol deposit is dirty, you can clean it
with petrol.
SPARK PLUG MAINTENANCE
The most common problems when starting the machine
are due to a dirty spark plug or to a spark plug in a bad
state.
Clean the spark plug and check it regularly. Check that the
distance between electrodes is correct (0.6- 0.7mm).
CLEANING THE CYLINDER REFRIGERATION VENTS
The cylinder refrigeration vents are responsible for cooling
the piston and the cylinder by means of the entry of air.
The vents must always be kept clean, free from material
that could block air from entering. Dirty vents mean that
the engine will overheat, causing it to seize.
Check and clean the cylinder vents periodically.
