Inspecting bolts, nuts and screws
and other parts
Retighten loose bolts, nuts, etc.
Check for fuel and oil leakage.
Replace damaged parts with new ones for safety
operation.
Cleaning engine, cooling air inlet
Keep engine clean by wiping down with a cloth
rag.
Keep the cylinder fins free of dust or dirt. Dust or
dirt adhering to the fins may cause engine over-
heat and piston seizure.
Blowing air is taken in from the air inlet vent.
When airflow drops down during operation,
stop engine and inspect the air inlet vent for
any blockages. Clean it if necessary. Such a
blockage may cause overheat and damage the
engine.
Replacing gaskets and packings
Replace gaskets and packings if the engine is
disassembled.
Any maintenance of adjustment work that is not
included and described in this manual is only to
be performed by Authorized Service Agent.
Storage
WARNING:
When draining the fuel, stop
the engine and wait for the engine to cool
down. Failure to do so may cause burns or
fire.

tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry
and clean place.
Drain fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor

completely. If there is any foreign materials
remaining in the fuel tank, remove it completely.

Push the primer pump until fuel is drained
from there, and drain fuel coming into the fuel

tighten the fuel tank cap.
5.
Then, continue to operate the engine until it
stops.
