Muffler
•
Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners,
any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust
leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it
repaired immediately.
•
Note that failing to do so may result in the engine
catching on fire.
Spark Arrester
•
The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to
prevent red hot carbon from flying out of the
exhaust outlet. Periodically inspect and clean as
necessary with a wire brush. In the State of
California it is required by law (Section 4442 of the
California Public Resources Code) to equip a spark
arrester when a gas powered tool is used in any
forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered
unimproved land.
Intake Air Cooling Vent
•
Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs
with your bare hands immediately after stopping the
engine. The engine can become very hot when in
operation, and doing so could result in severe burns.
•
When checking the machine to make sure that it is
okay before using it, check the area around the
muffler and remove any debris. Failing to do so
could cause the muffler to become overheated, and
that this in turn could cause the engine to catch on
fire. Always make sure that the muffler is clean and
free of debris before use.
•
Check the intake air cooling vent and the area
around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25
hours of use for blockage. Note that it is necessary
to remove the engine cover in order to view the
upper part of the cylinder.
1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the
vent, and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe
away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust
vent and cylinder exhaust port at the same time.
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way
in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has,
wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.
