CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1 .The minute particles of foreign matter, that
are present in any fuel may, by accumulating
and partially obstructing fuel flow, cause
engine performance to become erratic and
unreliable.
O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small) are
available, as optional extras, to deal with this
problem.
One of these filters installed to the pickup
tube inside your refueling container, will
prevent the entry of foreign material into the
fuel tank. It is also recommended that a good
in-line filter be installed between the tank and
carburetor.
2. Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to
remove dirt and lint that accumulate on the
filter screens. Also, clean the carburetor itself
occasionally.
3-Atthe end of each operating session, drain out
any fuel that may remain in the fuel tank.
Afterwards,energize the glow-plug and try to
restart the engine, to burn off any fuel that may
remain inside the engine. Repeat this
procedure until the engine fails to fire. Do this
while the engine is still warm.
4. Then, inject some after-run oil into the
engine, and rotate the engine with an
electric starter for 4 to 5 seconds to
distribute the oil to all the working parts.
Note:
Do not inject after-run oil into the
carburetor as this may cause the 0-rings
inside the carburetor to deteriorate. These
procedures will reduce the risks of starting
difficulties or corrosion after a period of
storage.
