■ FUEL FILTER
•A clogged fuel filter may cause poor
acceleration of the engine. Check
periodically to see if the filter is clogged
with dirt. The filter can be taken out of the
fueling port using a small wire hook.
Disconnect the filter assembly from the fuel
pipe and unhook the retainer to
disassemble it. Clean the components with
gasoline.
■ SPARK PLUG
• The spark plug may gather carbon deposits
on its firing end with reasonable use.
Remove and inspect the spark plug every
25 hours and clean the electrodes as
necessary with a wire brush. The spark gap
should be adjusted to .025 in (0.6~0.7mm).
• Plug manufacturers recommend replacing
the plug twice a year to avoid unexpected
plug failure in a job.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control device and systems
may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
•Make sure that the engine has stopped
and is cool before performing any
service to the blower. Contact with
rotating blower fan or hot muffler may
result in a personal injury.
■ AIR CLEANER
• Never operate the blower without an air
filter or with a deformed or broken filter
element.
•Check the air cleaner every 25 hours
of use or more frequently if used under
dusty conditions. A clogged air filter
may increase fuel consumption while
cutting down the engine power. Never
operate the blower without the air filter
or with a deformed filter element
because unfiltered dusty air will quickly
ruin the engine.
