MAINTENANCE
Consequently, never work in an enclosed or badly ventilated
area. Good air circulation should always prevail when working
in snowy hollows, ravines or in conned conditions.
Needle bearing lubrication
The clutch drum is tted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Both versions have a needle bearing on the drive shaft, which
has to be greased regularly (once a week).
CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or engine oil.
Adjustment of the oil pump
The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by turning
the screw using a screwdriver or combination spanner. The
machine is supplied from the factory with the screw set to
position 2. Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the oil ow
and turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase the oil ow.
Recommended settings:
Bar 13"-15": Position 1
Bar 15"-18": Position 2
Bar 18"-20": Position 3
Cooling system
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Air guide plate.
3 Fins on the ywheel.
4 Cooling ns on the cylinder.
5 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Air Injection centrifugal cleaning
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the centrifugal
cleaning system it must be regularly maintained.
Clean the air intake to the starter, the ns on the ywheel,
the space around the ywheel, inlet pipe and carburettor
compartment.
!
WARNING! The catalytic converter mufer
gets very hot during and after use. This also
applies during idling. Be aware of the re
hazard, especially when working near
ammable substances and/or vapours.
!
WARNING! The engine must not be running
when making adjustments.
