Spark Plug; Two- -Piece Shaft; Air Filter - Jonsered GC2128C Manual De Instrucciones

If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can
be a sign that the performance of the cata-
lytic converter is impaired. Contact your
servicing dealer to inspect the muffler. A
blocked mesh will cause the machine to
overheat and result in damage to the cylin-
der and piston.

CAUTION! Never use a machine that has
a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler
bolts are tight.
CAUTION:
Mufflers fitted with cata-
lytic converters get very hot during use
and remain so for some time after stop-
ping. This also applies at idle speed. Con-
tact can result in burns to the skin. Re-
member the risk of fire!
WARNING:
The inside of the
muffler contain chemicals that may
be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with
these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
WARNING:
Engine exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. DO NOT start or run the
machine indoors, or anywhere that
is poorly ventilated. The exhaust
fumes from the engine are hot and
may contain sparks which can start
a fire. Never start the machine in-
doors or near combustible material!

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:
S Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
S An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or in-
correct type of oil).
S A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark
plug electrodes, which may result in operat-
ing problems and starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to
start or runs poorly at idle speed: always
check the spark plug first before taking
any further action.

MAINTENANCE
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check
that the electrode gap is 0.024 inch (0.6
mm). The spark plug should be replaced
after about a month in operation or earlier if
necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended
spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark
plug can damage the piston/cylinder.

Two- -piece shaft

The drive shaft end in the lower shaft
should be lubricated with grease every 30
hours. There is a risk that the drive shaft
ends (splined coupling) will seize if they
are not lubricated regularly.

Air filter

The air filter must be regularly cleaned to
remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:
S Carburetor malfunctions
S Starting problems
S Loss of engine power
S Unnecessary wear to engine parts
S Excessive fuel consumption
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more
regularly if conditions are exceptionally
dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the
filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly. Ensure that the filter is dry
before refitting it.
