Maintenance & Care
CAUTION -
When storing the machine,
make sure it has been cleaned properly. See
cleaning section.
NOTE -
If storing the machine for a period of
30 days or more, you must follow proper
storage and winterisation guidelines to avoid
any possible issues with your machine.
Incorrect storage can lead to possible fueling
or engine issues that will not be covered by
the warranty.
The following steps should be taken to
prepare your machine for storage. Unless the
storage instructions are followed, fuel
remaining in the carburettor will evaporate,
leaving gum-like deposits. This could lead to
difficult starting and result in costly repairs.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any pressure in the tank. Drain all the fuel from
the fuel tank and then run the machine until it
has completely run out of fuel.
2. Allow the engine to cool.
3. Follow the cleaning instructions as set out
in the cleaning section and make sure all
moving parts are lubricated with a light
silicone based spray or grease.
4. Follow the maintenance section and check,
service or replace serviceable items if
required.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour 1
teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the
combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly
several times to coat internal components.
6. Refit the spark plug.
7. Visually inspect the machine and replace or
repair any worn parts.
!
The fuel filter can become clogged. It is
recommended to replace the fuel filter once
every 100 hours in order to ensure sufficient
fuel flow to the carburettor.
To remove the fuel filter for replacement, pull it
out through the tank filler neck using a piece of
wire bent at one end to form a hook.
Pull old filter from fuel pipe and replace with
new filter.
