8. Maintenance
■ INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
• Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark
plugs with your bare hands immediately after
stopping the engine. The engine can become
very hot when in operation, and doing so
could result in severe burns.
• When checking the machine to make sure
that it is okay before using it, check the area
around the muffler and remove any wood
chips or leaves which have attached
themselves to the reciprocator. Failing to do
so could cause the muffler to become
overheated, and that this in turn could cause
the engine to catch on fire. Always make
sure that the muffler is clean and free of
wood chips, leaves, and other waste before
use.
• Check the intake air cooling vent and the area
around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25
hours of use for blockage, and remove any
waste which has attached itself to the
reciprocator. Note that it is necessary to remove
the engine cover shown in (MA11,MA12) in
order to be able to view the upper part of the
cylinder.
• If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around
the intake air cooling vent or between the
cylinder fins, it may cause the engine to
overheat, and that in turn may cause mechanical
failure on the part of the reciprocator. (MA19)
