CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER
DANGER: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)
– Turn the choke lever to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off from
dust or dirt.
– Loosen the fixing bolt.
– Remove the air cleaner cover by pulling its bottom side.
– Remove the elements and tap them to remove dirt.
– If the elements are heavily contaminated:
Remove the elements, immerse them in warm water or in water-diluted
neutral detergent, and dry them completely. Do not squeeze or rub them
when washing.
– Before attaching the elements, be sure to dry them completely. Insufficient
drying of the elements may lead to difficult startup.
– Wipe out oil adhering around the air cleaner cover and the breather part with
waste cloth.
– Fit the element (sponge) into the element (felt).
Fit the elements into the plate so that the sponge faces the air cleaner cover.
– Immediately attach the cleaner cover and tighten it with fixing bolts. (In
remounting, first place the upper claw, and then the lower claw.)
NOTICE:
– Clean the elements several times a day, if excessive dust adheres to it.
Dirty elements reduce engine power and make starting engine difficult.
– Remove oil on the elements. If operation continues with the elements
remaining not cleared of oil, oil in the air cleaner may fall outside,
resulting in contamination of the environment.
– Do not put the elements on the ground or dirty place. Otherwise they
pick up dirt or debris and it may damage the engine.
– Never use fuel for cleaning the elements. Fuel may damage them.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
– Only use the supplied universal wrench to remove or to install the spark plug.
– The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.7 - 0.8 mm
(0.028" - 0.032"). If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark
plug is clogged or contaminated, clean it thoroughly or replace it.
CAUTION: Never touch the spark plug connector while the engine is running
(danger of high voltage electric shock).
SUPPLY OF GREASE TO GEAR CASE
– Supply grease (Shell Alvania 2 or equivalent) to the gear case through the
grease hole every 30 hours. (Genuine MAKITA grease may be purchased
from your MAKITA dealer.)
