Maintenance - Scheppach LB2500P Originalanleitung

• The machine must be run at the lowest possible motor
speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush be-
fore starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface a little
or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that the
air current can work near to the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and
blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
• Never feed hard objects such as stones, bottles, cans
or pieces of metal into the Blower. They can cause
damage to the machine and possibly injury to the ope-
rator and bystanders.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards or
shields, or without safetydevices, for example debris
collector in place
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materials
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from patios,
paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders.
Blower mode
• Select the blow function using the selector lever on
the side of the machine and switch on.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground and
swing the machine from side to side, moving forwards
and direct the nozzle at the debris to be cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap

9. Maintenance

Injury warning!
Always wear protective gloves when working on or
around the device.
Important!
Always pull out the spark boot plug each time before
carrying out any cleaning.
Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids
in order to clean it.
Store the petrol multi garden tool in a safe and dry place
out of the reach of children.
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened
with soapy water.
• Regularly check the device before starting work.
• Never use water to clean or spray the device. Clean
the motor casing with a damp cloth and never use de-
tergents or solvents! This may damage the device's
plastic parts. Dry the motor casing carefully afterwards.
• Only use OEM parts for maintenance work. Using parts
other than original parts can cause damage to the ma-
chine.
Change and clean the spark plug (Fig3)
Check the spark plug air gap at least once a year or when
the engine starts poorly. The correct gap between ignition
flag and ignition contact is 0.25"/0.63 mm.
• Wait until the engine has cooled down completely.
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug, and use
the supplied spark plug wrench to remove the spark
plug by turning.
• When the electrode is severely worn out or reveals a
strong incrustation, the spark plug must be replaced
with an equivalent plug.
• A strong incrustation of the spark plug can be caused
by: Amount of oil is too high in the gasoline mix, poor
oil quality, old gasoline mix, or plugged up air filter.
• Screw the spark plug by hand completely into the th-
read. (Avoid jamming it)
• Use the supplied spark plug wrench to tighten the
spark plug.
• When using a torque wrench, the tightening torque
is 12-15 Nm.
• Plug the spark plug socket correctly on the plug.
Clean the air filter(Fig4)
Soiled air filters reduce the engine power by supplying
too little air to the carburetor. Dust and pollen plug up
the pores of the filter made of foamed plastic. Regular
checks are therefore essential.
• Unclip (A) the air filter cover (B) and remove the spon-
ge filter element (C).
• To avoid objects falling into the air tank, replace the
air filter cover.
• Wash the filter element in warm soap water, rinse and
allow drying naturally.
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflam-
mable solvents.
In order not to shorten the service life of the engine, a
damaged air filter must be replaced at once.
Warning!
Never run the engine without the air filter element
installed.
FUEL FILTER
Inside the fuel tank there is a filter which prevents im-
purities from entering the engine. The filter should be
replaced once a year by your Retailer.
