Air f lter
The air filter ust be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburetor malfunctions
• Starting problems
• Loss of engine power
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts
• Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the filter aily.
Cleaning the air f lter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filte . Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is d y
before refitting it
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air f lter
should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the
heading Oiling the air filte .
Oiling the air f lter
Always use special filter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to
make it spread evenly through the filte . You should
therefore avoid skin contact.
MAINTENANCE
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil ver it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never
use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before using the machine you
should check that the bevel gear is filled three-qua ters
full with grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to
be changed except if repairs are carried out.
