MAINTENANCE
The engine of the multicutter must be at a complete stop during assembling,
cleaning and any maintenance that may be necessary.
Air Filter:
Accumulated dust in the air filter will reduce engine efficiency, increase fuel consumption
and allow abrasive particles to pass into the engine.
Remove and clean the air filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
• Remove the air filter cover by
releasing the securing screws
and lifting
it
off.
• Tap the filter to remove light surface dust.
•
Heavy deposits should be washed out in soapy water
. Allow the filter to dry
completely.
Fuel Filter:
Check the fuel filter periodically but be careful not
to
allow dust to enter the fuel tank.
• The fuel tank is fitted with a filter which is situated at the free end of the fuel pipe and
can be extracted by using a piece of hooked wire.
• If the filter is dirty replace
it
straightaway.
•
If the inside of the fuel tank is dirty rinse out with petrol.
Spark Plug:
Check the spark plug after every 10-15 hours of use.
•
Remove the spark plug cover.
•
Using the plug spanner supplied, remove the spark plug by turning it anti-clockwise.
•
Clean and adjust the gap to 0.6-0.7mm.
•
Replace any damaged or visibly worn spark plug.
• Install the new/cleaned spark plug to finger tightness and tighten fully with the spanner.
Servicing:
•
We recommend that your petrol multicutter is serviced after 15 hours of use and
thereafter every 2 years.
When you finish working, clean the multicutter completely,
removing any dirt and
making
sure there is no grass wrapped around
the cutting tools. Replace the blade covers on the
hedgetrimmer and pruner
.
Be careful not to hit or
damage
the fuel tank when you put the machine on the ground.
Store away from direct sunlight and preferably hang the multicutter off the floor by the top
handgrip.
If storing for a long period, drain completely of fuel and oil all metal engine parts to protect
them from rusting.
Remove the spark plug, put a few drops of oil into the cylinder and pull the recoil starter a
few times to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.
You must periodically check that all screws are securely tightened. Failure to regularly check
the machine may affect performance and operator safety.
