Note: An overly dusty or damp air filter will prevent air from entering the carburetor, causing the engine to smoke and potentially damaging the engine, Regular maintenance of the air filter is essential, If the engine operates in very dusty areas, it should be cleaned every 2 hours.
1, Remove the butterfly screw cap and the air filter cover, then take out the filter.
2, Blow off the dust on the filter using compressed air.
3, Reinstall the air filter and its cover.

III. Spark Plug Maintenance

Note: Never use a spark plug outside the correct heat range. To ensure the normal operation of the engine, the spark plug gap must be appropriate and free of carbon deposits.
1. Replace the spark plug using a specialized spark plug wrench.
Note: If the engine has just stopped running, the muffler will be hot. Be careful not to touch it.
2. Visually inspect the spark plug. If there is noticeable wear or the insulator has cracks or defects, please replace it.
3. Measure the gap of the spark with a gap gauge. If adjustment is needed, bend the electrode. The correct gap should be 0.70 to 0.80mm.
4. Check if the spark plug gasket is in good condition. To avoid cross-threading, hand-tighten it first.
5. After the spark plug is fully seated, use a dedicated socket wrench to tighten it, compressing the washer.
Note: When installing a new spark plug, turn an additional 1/2 turn after compressing the washer. When reinstalling a used spark plug, turn an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn after compressing the washer.
Note: If the engine has just been operated, the muffler will be hot. Wait for it to cool down beforeproceeding.

IV. Carburetor idle speed adjustment

1, Start the engine and let it warm up to its normal temperature.
2, When the engine is running at idle, adjust the throttle stop screw to get standard idle speed, standard idle speed is: 1500±150RPM.

Machine Maintenance

During operation, the machine inevitably experiences wear from rotation, friction, and load changes. This can result in loosening of connection bolts, wear of parts, disruption of the system's normal state, and abnormal clearances. This leads to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, component misalignment, and more frequent machine failures, severely affecting the machine's normal operation. To reduce the occurrence of the above situations, it is crucial to routinely perform preventative maintenance. This helps maintain the machine's optimal technical state and extend its service life.
