8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
DANGER! Do not carry out any
checks, maintenance and repair op-
erations with engine running.
SPARK PLUG
At least once a year or if the engine has problems
starting up properly, check the condition of the spark
plug. Wait for the engine to cool before operation.
1) Remove the cap and unscrew the spark plug
with the wrench provided (fig. 6).
If the electrodes are excessively soiled or are very
worn, replace the spark plug with an equivalent
one (fig. 7).
Excessive soiling may be due to: # The oil ratio
used in fuel is too high and/or oil is not of an appro-
priate type.
# Air filter is partly clogged.
2) Screw the spark plug manually as far as possible
to avoid damaging its socket. Use the wrench pro-
vided only to tighten it (fig. 6).
3) Do not carry out repairs on the machine (if you
are not qualified to do so). Contact an author-
ised service centre.
4) GEARBOX (fig. 8)
Add grease to the gearbox every 40 hours of

operation by using the appropriate grease nip-

DANGER! In order to maintain the
original safety features, do not
make any changes to the machine.
In case of repairs, only use genuine spare
parts.
AIR FILTER
Periodically clean the air filter (at least every 20
hours); more frequently when working in dusty ar-
eas.
1) Unscrew the wing nut from the cover (fig. 9).
2) Wash with petrol.
3) Dry the filter before replacing it (fig. 9).
Replace the filter if it is damaged so as not
compromise engine life.
FUEL INTAKE FILTER
Replace the filter once a year by removing it with a
hook through tank-refilling outlet.
ENGINE IDLING SPEED
# Before use, always ensure that the cut
ting blade does not move when engine is
idling.
# If the blade tends to turn, contact a service centre
for adjustment.
CHECKING SCREWS, FIXED PARTS AND
MOVING PARTS
# Before each use, check that there are no loose or
damaged parts or screws and that there are no
cracks or signs of wear on the cutting blades.
# Replace the damaged parts at an authorised serv-
ice centre before using the machine.
