Chapter 6: Engine description
See the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as described in the engine manual that came with the unit.
Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
Under normal conditions, please maintain the air filter in accordance with the separate engine manual; clean it every few hours under
extremely dusty conditions. When the engine is not performing well or after being invaded by water, the air filter and carburetor should
normally be repaired.
To service the air filter, refer to the engine manual supplied with the unit.
It is recommended to replace the spark plug or check the spark plug at the beginning of each machine season. Please refer to the engine
manual for the correct plug type and clearance specifications.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to allow proper air circulation, which is
critical to engine performance and life. Always remove all grass, dirt and combustible waste from the muffler area.

1. Cleaning machine
Clean engine
●
Manually clean the engine and take care to prevent water from entering
the air filter.
- Using garden hoses or pressure washers can cause water to enter the air
purifier. The water in the air filter will soak the filter and enter the
carburetor or engine and cause damage.
。
- Water on the hot engine can cause engine damage. If the engine is already
running, let it cool for at least half an hour before cleaning.
●
Make sure the fuel valve is in the closed position before cleaning the
housing of the machine platform. Disconnect the spark plug cap. Turn the
machine sideways so that the air filter is facing up. This will help prevent
fuel leakage and hard start caused by carburetor overflow.
●
Wear thick gloves to protect your hands from the blade.
Cleaning collection bag
●
Remove the collection bag from the machine and wash it with a garden
hose or high pressure cleaning equipment. Allow the bag to dry completely
before storing.
2. After cleaning the machine, wipe all accessible surfaces.
3. Start the machine outdoors and run it until it reaches the normal
operating temperature to evaporate the water remaining on the engine.
4. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
5. After the machine is clean and dry, cover the damaged paint surface
and any other areas that may rust with a thin oil film. Lubricate the
control cable with a silicone spray lubricant.
