HOT HUMID WEATHER
Heavy protective clothing can increase operator fatique
which may lead to heat stroke. Delay heavy work until the
temperature drops.
VIBRATION AND COLD
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenom-
enon, which affects the fingers of certain individuals may
be brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Expo-
sure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning,
followed by loss of color and numbness in the fingers. The
following precautions are strongly recommended because
the minimum exposure which might trigger the ailment is
unknown.
REPETITIVE STRESS INJURIES
• It is believed that overusing the muscles and tendons of
the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-
ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to
the areas just mentioned.
Certain repetitive hand activities may put you at a high risk
developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI).
To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:
• Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted posi-
tion.
• Keep your body warm, especially head and neck, feet and
ankles and hands and wrists.
• Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous
arm exercises during frequent work breaks and also by
not smoking.
• Limit the number of hours operation. Try to fill each day
with jobs where operating the unit or other hand-held
power equipment is not required.
• If you experience discomfort, redness and swelling of the
fingers followed by whitening and loss of feeling, consult
your physician before further exposing yourself to cold
and vibration.
• Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your
hands.
• Reduce the speed and force in which you do the repetitive
movement.
• Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.
• See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your
fingers, hands, wrists or arms.
The sooner RSI is diagnosed, the more likely permanent
nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.
EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION
• Wear eye protection goggles.
• Wear hearing protection. If this guideline is not followed,
hearing loss can occur.
WEAR PROPER CLOTHING
• Snug fitting, durable clothing should be worn. Trousers
should have long legs. DO NOT WEAR SHORTS.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing, scarfs, neckties, jewelry
or any item that may be drawn or tangled in the fan.
• Wear shoes with non-skid soles. DO NOT wear open-toed
shoes or operate unit bare footed.
• Wear no-slip, heavy work gloves to improve your grip on
the handles. The gloves also help reduce the transmission
of machine vibration to your hands.

SPARK PLUG
1. Check plug gap. Correct gap is 0.6 - 0.7 mm.
2. Inspect electrode for wear.
3. Inspect insulator for oil or other deposits.
4. Replace plug if needed and tighten to 15 - 17 N·m (150
to 170 kgf·cm).
NOTE
Do not overtighten spark plug.
0.6 - 0.7 mm
COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
NOTE
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling
air must pass freely through the cylinder fin areas. This
flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked preventing cooling air from reach-
ing the cylinder, or
• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder.
This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat
from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of
cylinder fins is considered "Normal Maintenance." Any
resultant failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not
warranted.
The cooling system relies on cooling air entering the engine
through a grille located between the fuel tank and starter.
The cooling fan pushes this air through the cylinder area
and out the forward facing opening in the engine cover.
Remove accumulated debris from intake grille for cleaning.
Intake grille
SILENCER AND EXHAUST PORT
NOTE
Carbon deposits in cylinder exhaust port and silencer will
cause a drop in engine output and overheating. Silencer
exhaust port and screen must be checked.
1. Remove spark plug, engine cover, gasket and silencer.
2. Place piston at top dead center. Clean deposit from
silencer and cylinder exhaust port.
NOTE
Be careful not to scratch the cylinder or piston when clean-
ing the cylinder exhaust port.
3. Remove spark arrester cover, exhaust diffuser, gasket
and screen from silencer. Replace screen if plugged with
carbon deposits.
4. Inspect gaskets, replace if damaged.
5. Install spark arrester screen, gasket, diffuser and cover.
6. Install silencer, gasket and engine cover.

NOTE
A clogged fuel filter will cause hard starting or poor engine
performance.
1. Pick up the fuel filter through fuel tank opening with a
piece of steel wire or the like.
2. Remove old filter from fuel line.
3. Install new fuel filter.
NOTE
Keep fuel tank clean - do not allow dirt or debris to enter
fuel tank.
