Maintenance
_ INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
• Never touch the cylinder, muffler,
or spark plugs with your bare
hands immediately after stopping
the engine. The engine can
become very hot when in
operation, and doing so could
result in severe burns.
• When checking the machine to
make sure that it is okay before
using it, check the area around
the muffler and remove any
debris. Failing to do so could
cause the muffler to become
overheated, and that this in turn
could cause the engine to catch
on fire. Always make sure that the
muffler is clean and free of
debris.
• Check the intake air cooling vent
and the area around the cylinder
cooling fins after every 25 hours of
use for blockage, and remove any
waste which has attached itself.
Note that it is necessary to remove
the engine cover shown in (MA10)
in order to be able to view the upper
part of the cylinder.
• If waste gets stuck and causes
blockage around the intake air
cooling vent or between the cylinder
fins, it may cause the engine to
overheat, and that in turn may
cause mechanical failure. (MA10)

_ (MA11) PROCEDURES TO BE
PERFORMED AFTER EVERY 100
HOURS OF USE
1. Remove the muffler, insert a
screwdriver into the vent, and wipe
away any carbon buildup. Wipe
away any carbon buildup on the
muffler exhaust vent and cylinder
exhaust port at the same time.
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and
fittings.
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has
worked its way in between the
clutch lining and drum, and if it has
wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free
gasoline.
