ENGINE
SHAFT
• Make sure that the engine has
stopped and is cool before
performing any service to the
machine. Contact with moving
cutting head or hot muffler may
result in a personal injury.
■ AIR FILTER
• The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the
engine performance. Check and clean
the filter element. If the element is
broken or clogged, replace with a new
one. (MA1)
(1) air filter
■ FUEL FILTER
• When the engine runs short of fuel
supply, check the fuel cap and the fuel
filter for blockage. (MA2)
(1) fuel filter
WARNING
■ SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and mis-firing are often
caused by a fouled spark plug. Clean
the spark plug and check that the plug
gap is in the correct range. For a
replacement plug, use the correct type
specified by RedMax. (MA3)
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK
CMR7H.
• Note that using any spark plug other
than those designated may result in the
engine failing to operate properly or in
the engine becoming overheated and
damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the
plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it
a quarter turn more with a socket
wrench.
