Filters - GEISMAR MP.12 Manual

5.1.7 - Filters

A soiled filtering system can cause the following
problems:
• abnormal fuel consumption
• engine start-up problems
• engine power drop
• engine early wear
To prevent dirt from entering the intake
side, the replacement operation must be
carried out in a clean place such as a
maintenance workshop or warehouse.
If the engine is used without air filter or with a
damaged air filter, dirt will enter the engine, which
will thus wear more quickly.
This type of damage is not covered by the
distributor's limited guarantee.
NEVER USE THE MACHINE WITHOUT AN
AIR FILTER
