CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER
DANGER: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED
Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Daily (every 10 operating hours)
– Turn the choke lever to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off from
dust or dirt.
– Remove the air cleaner cover-fixing bolts.
– Pull the cover lower side and detach the air cleaner cover.
– If oil adheres to the element (sponge), squeeze it firmly.

1) Remove the element (sponge), immerse it in warm water or in water-diluted
neutral detergent, and dry it completely.
2) Clean the element (felt) with gasoline, and dry it completely.

of the element may lead to difficult startup.

Points in Handling Air Cleaner Element
– Clean the element several times a day, if excessive dust adheres to it.
– If operation continues with the element remaining not cleared of oil, oil in
the air cleaner may fall outside, resulting in oil contamination.
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
– Only use the supplied universal wrench to remove or to install the spark plug.
– The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.7-0.8mm
(0.028”-0.032”). If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark
plug is clogged with carton or fouled, clean it thoroubhly or replace it.
CAUTION: Never touch the spark plug connector while the engine is running
(danger of high voltage electric shock).
SUPPLY OF GREASE TO GEAR CASE
– Supply grease (Shell Alvania 2 or equivalent) to the gear case through the
grease hole every 30 hours. (Genuine MAKITA grease may be purchased
