Cleaning The Air Filter; Gear - Gardeo GTHT2575LC Traduction Des Instructions Originales

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or
runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark
plug first before taking any further action. If the
spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the
electrode gap is 0,5 mm. The spark plug should be
replaced after about a month in operation or earlier
if necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark
plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage
the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is
fitted with a suppressor.
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.

Cleaning the air filter

Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter.
Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Allow the filter
to dry and then oil it in according to the instructions.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time
cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must
therefore be replaced with a new one at regular
intervals. A damaged air filter must always be
replaced.
Oiling the air filter
The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread
evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid
skin contact.Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour
the filter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to
distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the
filter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess
before fitting the filter to the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This would drain through the
filter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

Gear

There is a plug for filling lubricant on the gear
housing. Use the grease tube to fill with grease and
repeat every 25 hours.
