• Check whether the foam filter element is dirty or air logged. Clean it if
necessary.

• Newly equip the air cleaner and operate the engine until it is well equipped.

• It would accelerate the abrasion if the dust or the pollutant is absorbed into the

engine through carburetor.

6. Check the water pump:

• Check whether the water is added into the pump.

• The pump must be fully filled with water before operating.

• Operate the pump until the water is added so as to protect the air proof from the

overheating in lasting operation without water.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Keep the fuel valve to “ON” position.

2. Shut down the throttle (throttle may be partly closing or open when the engine is
warm or in the case of high temperature).

3. Keep the switch in the ON position.

4. Slowly move the regulating handle to the left.

5. Pull the start handgrip when feeling the resistance, then drawback swiftly.

USE

The use of the water pump:

1. Gradually open the throttle when the engine’s warm.

2. Set a scheduled rotation speed.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Move the regulating handle to the right.

2. Keep the switch in the “OFF” position.

3. Turn off the fuel valve.

MAINTENANCE

Oil:

Change the oil and quickly discharge the oil when the engine is hot. Replace the oil for the
first time after 50 hours of cumulative operation. After that, replace the oil per 500 hours
operation. The specific procedure is as follows:

• Disconnect the oil cap and drain plug, then discharge the oil, newly equip the
drain plug and screw it down.

• Add the clean oil to the appointed oil level.

Air cleaner filter:

Air flow in the carburetor is reduced if air cleaner is dirty. In order to clean it:

• Move the papilionaceous nut, and disconnect the air cleaner filter cover and the
foam filter element with apyrous cleaning and then air dry it.

• Dip the foam filter element into the clean oil and extrude the additional oil.
Newly equip the foam filter element and air cleaner filter.

Spark plug:
It would be kept 0.7-0.8 mm between the spark plug and no carbon so as to assure the
normal running
