8. Maintenance

Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. If

your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh

at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. On

mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should be cleaned

weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic

converter the mesh should be checked, and if necessary cleaned,

monthly.

If the mesh is damaged it should be replaced. If the

mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the

performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your

dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause the

machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and

piston.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

•

Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during

use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also

applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the

skin.

• Remember the risk of fire!

■ Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine

is equipped with a cooling system.

WARNING

The cooling system consists of:

1. Air intake on the starter.

2. Cooling fins on the cylinder.

3. Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in

demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in

the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and

cylinder.

■ Bevel gear

The bevel gear is filled with the right amount of grease at the

factory. However, before using the machine you should check that

the bevel gear is filled 3/4 full with grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be

changed except if repairs are carried out.

■ Air filter

The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in

order to avoid:

• Carburettor malfunctions

• Starting problems

• Loss of engine power

• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.

• Excessive fuel consumption.

Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are

exceptionally dusty.
