performing any cleaning / maintenance.
Spark plug
• The spark plug should be checked regularly
• Remove the spark plug using the spanner supplied
• The electrode gap should be set to 0.7mm
• If the plug appears to be fouled, or burnt, the engine is not running
properly. Check for correct fuel mixture, and proper engine adjustment.
If necessary very lightly clean the spark plug with a suitable soft wire
brush or other tool
• If the electrode is heavily pitted, or eroded, replace the spark plug with a
new one of the same type
• Always tighten spark plug properly before use
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a cloth and detergent
• The fuel tank contains a filter that should be regularly cleaned with
fresh petrol
• The air filter should be removed and cleaned regularly. To access the
filter, undo the retaining screw on the side of the brush cutter body,
and remove the cover. The air filter element should be cleaned using
household detergent, dried, and re-oiled with regular machine oil.
Reassemble before using the brush cutter
