CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1 .The minute particles of foreign matter, that

are present in any fuel may, by accumulating

and partially obstructing fuel flow, cause

engine performance to become erratic and

unreliable.

O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small) are
available, as optional extras, to deal with this

problem.

One of these filters installed to the pickup

tube inside your refueling container, will

prevent the entry of foreign material into the

fuel tank. It is also recommended that a good

in-line filter be installed between the tank and

carburetor.

2. 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.

3-Atthe 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 engine fails to fire. Do this

while the engine is still warm.

4. Then, inject some after-run oil into the

engine, and rotate the engine with an
electric starter for 4 to 5 seconds to
distribute the oil to all the working parts.

Note:

Do not inject after-run oil into the

carburetor as this may cause the 0-rings

inside the carburetor to deteriorate. These

procedures will reduce the risks of starting

difficulties or corrosion after a period of
storage.
