2. If necessary, fill the fuel tank to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the filler neck with the pre-mixed gasoline-2-Cycle Oil mixture.
3. Put the fuel cap back on.
4. Wipe off any spilled fuel and allow excess fuel to evaporate before starting the engine. To prevent FIRES, do not start the engine while the smell of gasoline is still perceived.

Spark Plug Maintenance

1. Disconnect the spark plug cap (1.) from the end of the spark plug. Remove dirt and debris around the spark plug.
2. Remove the spark plug with a spark plug wrench. NOTE: Do not remove the spark plug when the engine is hot, as this could damage the threads.
3. Check the spark plug:

• If the electrode is oily, clean it with a clean, dry cloth.
• If the electrode has any debris, polish it with sandpaper.
• If the white insulator is cracked or chipped, the spark plug must be replaced.

Recommended spark plug: RCJ6Y

1.

NOTE: Using the wrong spark plug can damage the engine.

1. When installing a new spark plug, adjust the electrode spacing according to the specifications in the specification table. Do not pry against the electrode, as the spark plug may be damaged.

2. Install the new or cleaned spark plug into the engine:

3. Spark plugs with gasket: Screw in the spark plug with your fingers until the gasket touches the cylinder head. Then tighten it about 1/2 to 2/3 turn further.

4. Spark plugs without gasket: Screw in the spark plug with your fingers until it touches the cylinder head. Then tighten it about 1/16 turn further.

NOTE: Tighten the spark plug properly.

If the spark plug is too loose, this will cause the engine to overheat.

If the spark plug is too tight, the threads in the engine block can be damaged.

1. Apply a dielectric protector for the spark plug connector (not included) to the end of the spark plug and secure the cable.

Air Filter Maintenance

1. Remove the air filter cover and air filter(s) and check for dirt. Clean them as described below.
2. Cleaning:

For paper filters:

- To avoid injury from dust and dirt, wear ANSI-certified goggles, a NIOSH-certified dust mask/respirator, and heavy-duty work gloves. In a well-ventilated area and away from other people, use compressed air to blow dust out of the filter.

For foam filters:

- Wash the filter several times in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse it out. Squeeze out excess water and let it dry completely. Soak the filter briefly in light oil and squeeze out the excess oil.

1. Reinsert the cleaned filter(s). Secure the air filter cover securely before using the device.

23. Long-term storage

If the device is not used for more than 20 days, prepare the motor for storage as follows:

1. CLEANING:

Wait for the engine to cool down, then clean it with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Do not use water for cleaning. Water can enter the engine and cause rust damage.

Apply a thin layer of anti-rust oil to all metal parts.

1. FUEL:

WARNING! TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY FROM FIRE:

Empty the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area and away from ignition sources. If the engine is hot, turn it off and let it cool down. Do not smoke.

a. Remove the fuel tank cap and empty the remaining fuel into an approved container.
b. Press the primer pump 8 times.
c. Drain the remaining fuel into the container.
d. Start the engine and let it idle until it dies due to lack of fuel.
e. Put the fuel cap back on and tighten it.

1. LUBRICATION:

a. Clean the area around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug and add 1/2 tablespoon of 2-Cycle Oilthrough the spark plug hole into the cylinder.
b. Replace the spark plug, but leave the spark plug cap removed.
c. Pull the starter handle to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Stop after one or two turns when you feel the piston start the compression stroke (if you feel resistance).

4. STORAGE LOCATION:

Cover the device and store it upright in a dry, level and well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. The storage location should also be away from ignition sources such as water boilers, tumble dryers and heaters.

5. AFTER STORAGE:

Before starting the engine after storage, follow the procedures in the pre-start checks. If premixed fuel that has been stored is used, be aware that during storage, some of the gasoline in the fuel evaporates, while the 2-Cycle Oildoes not evaporate, which changes the gasoline-oil mixing ratio. Operating the engine with an incorrect compound will cause permanent damage to the engine. Use freshly mixed fuel when starting the engine after storage.

⚠️ Follow all safety precautions when diagnosing or maintaining the device or motor.
