INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND
DECALS
After each use, inspect complete unit
for loose or damaged parts. Clean the
unit and decals using a damp cloth
with a mild detergent.
Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.
COOLING SYSTEM
To keep the working temperature as
low as possible the machine is
equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
Air intake on the starter
Air guide plate
Fins on the flywheel
Cooling fins on the cylinder
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over
the cylinder)
Clean the cooling system with a brush
after each use, more often in demand-
ing conditions. A dirty or blocked cool-
ing system results in the machine
overheating which causes damage to
the piston and cylinder.
CHECK CHAIN BRAKE
See CHAIN BRAKE in the OPERATION
section.
CLEAN AIR FILTER
CAUTION: Do not clean filter in gaso-
line or other flammable solvent to
avoid creating a fire hazard or produc-
ing harmful evaporative emissions.
Cleaning the air filter:
A dirty air filter decreases the life and
performance of the engine and in-
creases fuel consumption and harmful
emissions. Always clean your air filter
after 10 tanks of fuel or 5 hours of op-
eration, whichever comes first. Clean
more frequently in dusty conditions. A
used air filter can never be completely
cleaned. It is advisable to replace your
air filter with a new one after every 50
hours of operation, or annually, which-
ever comes first.
1. Loosen 3 screws on cylinder cover.
2. Remove cylinder cover.
3. Remove air filter cover and air filter.
4. Clean the air filter using hot soapy
water. Rinse with clean cool water.
