10.1 Unit cleaning
Subject your unit to regular cleaning and care. It will deliver good performance for a very long
time.
 After every operation clean the cutting attachment of grass and soil.
 Clean the unit with a soft brush or a rug.
 The unit must not be sprayed with water or submerged into water.
 Do not use any detergents or cleaning solutions. The unit could be damaged. Chemical
substances could negatively affect the unit's plastic components.
10.2 Air filter
The air filter should be cleaned regularly removing dust and dirt to avoid:
 Carburetor malfunction
 Starting problems
 Reduced engine power
 Unnecessary wear to engine parts
 Abnormal fuel consumption
Cleaning the air filter:
 Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter.
 Wash in clean, warm soapy water.
 Ensure that the filter is dry before refitting.
 An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned completely. Therefore it is
necessary to replace the air filter from time to time with a new filter.
Attention! Do not ever use the unit without its air filter. The filter must be
kept clean. A damaged filter must be replaced with a new one.
10.3 Change/adjustment of the spark plug
Attention! Worn-out spark plugs or too large distance between breaker
contacts decrease the engine performance.
 Turn the unit off.
 Disconnect the sparkplug cable from the spark plug.
 Unscrew counterclockwise the spark plug with a spark plug key. Do not use any other tool
in order to prevent any damage.
