Cleaning the air filter
A clean air filter is necessary
for optimal
carburetor
function
and
optimal
engine
power.
In order to get at the air filter, remove the cylinder
cover by undoing
the retaining
screws and lifting the cover off upwards-backwards.
Remove
the heaviest
dirt from the air filter. Undo the screw and lift
the filter off carefully
to prevent
dirt from falling down into the
carburetor.
Separate
the two filter halves by means of a screwdriver
or a knife
Clean the filter halves carefully
in warm soapy water.
Avoid cleaning
them in chain saw petrol.
Dry the filter with compressed
air
Reassemble
the filter and make sure that it lies close to the
carburetor.
Use two air filters alternately.
Clean the filter each day!
Changing starter cord and return
spring
Loosen the four screws that retain the starter. Remove
the starter.
Pull out the cord approx.
30 cm and lift it up into the notch in the
periphery
of the pulley.
Zero-set
the return spring by carefully
letting the pulley rotate
backwards.
Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove the pulley
In case you change
the return spring as well, undo the screws that
retain the plastic
cassette,
which then can be removed.
