Air filter (Fig. 3-2, 2B)

The air filter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

•

Carburetor malfunctions.

•

Starting problems.

•

Engine power reduction.

•

Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.

•

Abnormal fuel consumption.

Clean the air filter daily or more often if working in exceptionally dusty areas.

Cleaning the air filter

Remove the air filter cover and the filter. Rinse it in warm soap suds. Check that the filter is dry before

reassembly. An air filter that has been used for some time cannot be cleaned completely therefore, it

must regularly be replaced by a new one. A damaged filter must always be replaced.

NOTE! (TED-210)

Saturate the element in 2-cycle oil or the equivalent. Squeeze the element to distribute the oil

completely and to remove any excess oil.

Spark plug (Fig. 3-3)

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

•

An incorrect carburetor setting.

•

Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)

•

A dirty air filter.

•

Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in malfunction and starting

difficulties. If the engine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check

the spark plug first. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the electrode gap. Readjust if necessary.

The correct gap is 0.6 mm (.024'). The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation hours or

earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE! In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug to suppress ignition signals. If this

machine was originally equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug for replacement.
