Maintenance and care

6. Maintenance and care
Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs should
only be performed when the engine is stopped and
with removed spark plug cap.
Any service jobs, other than those described in
this manual, should only be carried out by an
authorized service center. Only original parts may
be used for any maintenance and service work.
Never modify your motorized mistblower – your
personal safety is at risk.
Never service or store the machine near an open
flame.
Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing and
tank ventilation. Only use recommended spark
plugs. Check ignition cable for any damage.
After a running in period of approx. 5 hours, all
accessible screws and nuts (except for carburetor
mixture adjustment needles) have to be checked
and re-tightened if required.
Never operate a motorized mistblower with a
damaged muffler or without muffler (fire risk and
risk of damage to hearing). Do not touch hot
muffler.

6.1 Fuel tap

Remove the fuel cock at regular intervals to clean
the fuel strainer. - Make sure to keep the vent hole
of the fuel tank cap open at all times.

6.2 Formula Tank Lid

Watch seal of the spray tank lid and service by
lubricating the rubber gasket inside the lid. Failing
this, pressure built-up in the container is impaired
and dosage of emission becomes irregular.

6.3 Liquid Tap

Maintain the tap on a regular basis and apply oil or
grease. To disassemble the tap, twist the upper
part 1/4 turn to the left (anti-clockwise). Apply oil or
grease to the valve stem and o-ring, than re-
assemble. Replace o-ring if required.

6.4 Air Filter

The air filter separates and retains dirt before
the air reaches the combustion chamber. This
reduces engine wear.
Regular maintenance increases engine life.
Clogged air filters cause performance loss and
increased fuel consumption. This leads to a higher
toxin level in the exhaust gas and also makes
starting more difficult.

For daily cleaning:
Tap the air filter against an object or use an air
gun.
With heavy dust conditions and for normal weekly
check:
thoroughly clean the filter and replace filter if
damaged.
Cleaning of air filter
Before opening the air filter, close the choke to
prevent dirt entering the carburettor.
For removal of the air filter, remove filter cover
screw and filter cover.
When re-fitting, ensure the filter is positioned and
seated properly.
When the machine is used all day, the air filter
should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions
clean more often.
Simply tapping the filter against an object is the
best method of cleaning.
Wash a heavily soiled filter in non-flammable
cleaning solvents (warm soapy water).
Never insert moist or wet foam filters!
Immediately replace damaged filter parts.
Warranty claims cannot be accepted for damaged
engine parts caused by improper care and
maintenance.

6.5 Spark Plug

The correct spark plug with thermal range 145 is
available under the following brands:
BOSCH W8AC
The correct electrode gap is 0.5mm.
Caution: Check the plug after every 50
operating hours and replace if electrodes
are worn.
