Checking and replacing the spark plug
To ensure a proper engine operation, the spark plug
must be clean and with adequate distance between the
electrodes.
There are several factors that can affect the operation
of the spark plug: incorrect carburetor adjustment and
fuel mixture, and dirty air filter. These factors cause
deposits in the spark plug electrodes, which leads to
operating problems and difficult starting.
If the brush cutter is running low or has difficulty
starting, check the spark plug before making any further
checks.
1. Remove the cap, unscrew the spark plug with the
supplied wrench and check if it is clean. If dirty, clean
the soot with a brush;
2. If the spark plug is "wet", with excess fuel, place a
clean cloth over the spark plug hole and pull the starter
handle several times without the spark plug installed;
3. Measure the distance between the electrodes with
appropriate tools. The distance should be between
0.6-0.7 mm. If necessary, bend the electrode until it has
enough gap.
4. Place the spark plug with your hand to prevent
damage to the thread and tighten in order to compress
the sealing gasket, using the wrench provided;
5. If the spark plug does not produce any sparks, replace
it;
A loose spark plug can overheat and damage the
engine.
Always use the type of spark plug recommended
by the manufacturer (VIVELA5510). An incorrect
use of a spark plug can damage the cylinder.
Lubrication
The brush cutter does not require regular lubrication;
however, the gearbox and rotation shaft grease must be
checked frequently for a longer service life.
Storage and cleaning
Storage
Preparing storage for long periods is vital to avoid
problems and increase the service life of the brush
cutter.
Never store the tool with petrol in the tank. Depending
on the region and storage conditions, petrol can
deteriorate and oxidize, causing damages in the
carburetor and fuel system, difficult starts and clogging
caused by particle accumulation.
Before storage proceed as follows:
1. Remove the petrol from the tank;
2. Start the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel;
3. Remove the spark plug and add 2-stroke engine oil (5-
10 cl) to the cylinder through the spark plug hole;
4. Place a clean cloth over the spark plug hole and pull
the starter handle to dispense the oil throughout the
cylinder;
5. Pull the starter handle slowly while feeling some
resistance. The piston rises and the intake and exhaust
valves are closed. Leaving the engine in this position will
help protect against internal corrosion;
6. Reinstall the spark plug;
Cleaning
The brush cutter must be thoroughly cleaned after each
use. Remove any waste (grass, brushwood, wires)
accumulated in the cutting blade or in the rotation
screw.
A careful handling protects the brush cutter and
increases its service life.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
The packaging is made of recyclable materials,
which can be disposed on local recycling points.
Never place appliances with combustion engines
in the household waste!
Waste such as used oil, fuel, lubricant, filters and
wearing parts can harm humans, animals and the
environment and as such must be properly disposed of.
Make sure that the deactivated equipment is forwarded
for disposal in a technically correct way.
You can obtain information regarding the disposal of
the brush cutter through the person in charge for the
recycling in your city.
