Pick-up body

Fuel is transferred from the fuel tank
to the carburetor via the fuel line by
the diaphragm pump. Any impurities
entering the fuel tank with the fuel
are trapped by the pick-up body
(filter). The fine filter pores become
clogged with minute dirt particles in
the course of time. The intake area is
reduced and the pump no longer
delivers sufficient fuel.
Important! The fuel tank and
pick-up body must always be
inspected first if any malfunctions
develop in the fuel supply. The fuel
tank must be cleaned if necessary.
Cleaning the fuel tank

- Fill with a little fresh petrol.
- Close the filler cap and shake the
cut-off machine vigorously.
- Reopen and drain the tank.
Note: Fuel must be disposed of
correctly!
