MAINTENANCE OF THE GEARS
1 Check lubrication of the gears every 25 operating
hours.
2 To check gear lubrication, screw out the fill plug.
If no more grease is to be seen in the lubrication
opening, continue to fill, using a grease press or
some standard grease tube until it emerges from
the opening. Finally twist the fill plug carefully back
again. For lubrication use a standard gear grease.

Never touch hot parts such as the muffler.
• Make sure that no fuel leaks from the tank.
EXTENDED STORAGE
• Inspect, clean and repair unit if necessary.
• Remove all fuel from the tank.

• Remove spark plug and pour one tea spoon of clean
motor oil into spark plug hole of cylinder; put spark
plug back in place.

adhered to. If the engine does not work properly, check
the following:
• Is the fuel system in good condition and is fuel
flowing to the engine?
