MAINTENANCE
Stop switch
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Muffler
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the
machine.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the screen at least once a week. This is best done with
a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the engine to
overheat and may lead to serious damage.
Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
screen is blocked the machine will overheat and this will
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a
machine with a muffler that is in poor condition. Never use a
muffler if the spark arrestor screen is missing or
defective.
