MAINTENANCE
Two minute rule
The machine may be tipped forward to
facilitate access for cleaning or service, but no
longer than 2 minutes.
If the machine is held in this position for too
long, the engine can be damaged by gasoline
draining into the crankcase. Should this
happen, perform an extra oil change on the
engine. Remove the spark plug and turn the
engine over a few revolutions with the starter
handle before starting the engine again.
Cleaning and washing
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the
machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean the
machine directly after use, before the dirt
sticks.
Check before rinsing that the fuel tank lid is
properly in place to avoid getting water in the
tank.
Use caution when using high-pressure spray
because warning decals, instruction signs and
the engine can be damaged. Do not exceed
70 bar/1000 PSI water pressure when
cleaning.
Lubricate the machine after cleaning. This is
particularly important if the machine is to be
stored.
