L3 DAILY MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! Please be sure that the engine is
switched off before beginning any maintenance
operation.
Air Filter Clean the air filter at least once a day and more
often in difficult environments. Remove the filter as shown in
the figure and clean it using a gentle jet of compressed air.
For more thorough cleansing, you can wash it with soapy
water.
During assembly, check that the filter closes well into its area.
The filter never becomes again completely clean and must
therefore be periodically replaced with a new one.
A damaged filter must be replaced immediately.
M1 Cutting Bar Carefully clean the oil passage flue (K) and
holes (l). Turn the bar periodically to obtain uniform
performance in the event the guide groove is worn or there
are excessive furrows present. Clean the chain guide. Grease
the bar coil with fat for bearings.
M2 Chain Oil Pump Check that the automatic pump for bar
lubrication correctly pumps chain oil. Point the bar against a
clear surface, about twenty centimetres distant. After about a
minute, at ¾ gas, the surface will have to present clear oil
tracks. If the pump doesn't work correctly contact an
Authorized Assistance Centre.

To replace remove the tank cap and extract the filter using a
metal hook. Replace the filter, preferably at least once a year.
M4 Chain Sharpen the chain and check its condition and
tension. If it is worn-out, have it replaced at an authorized
assistance centre. When the cutting tooth is only 4 mm, the
chain is worn and must be replaced.

Check that the chain drag coil is not worn. If the replacement
is necessary, refer to an authorized assistance dealer.
