8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
DANGER! Do not carry out any
checks, maintenance and repair
operations 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 ope-
ration.
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 appropriate type.
- Air filter is partly clogged.
2) Screw the spark plug manually as far
as possible to avoid damaging its socket.
Use the wrench provided only to tighten it
(fig. 6).

3) Do not carry out repairs on the machine

authorised service centre.

Add grease to the gearbox every 40 hours
of operation by using the appropriate gre-
ase nipple (fig. 8 part. 1).
DANGER! In order to maintain the
original safety features, do not
make any changes to the machi-
ne.
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 areas.
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.

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

- 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.
