CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove
dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens.
Also, clean the carburetor itself occasionally.
At the end of each operating session, drain out any
fuel that may remain in the fuel tank.
Afterwards,energize the glow-plug and try to restart
the engine, to burn off any fuel that may remain
inside the engine. Repeat this procedure until the

warm.
