Cleaning the air lter

CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection

when cleaning the lter with compressed air!

Do not use fuel to clean the air lter.

Unscrew the hood lock (1) counter-clockwise and remove the

hood (2).

Push up the combination switch (3) (Choke position) to prevent

dirt particles from falling into the carburetor.

Pull the air lter (4) up and out.

IMPORTANT: Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth to

prevent dirt particles from getting into the carburetor.

Choosing the right lter: The eece lter is for use in dry or

dusty conditions. The nylon lter (available as accessory) is for

use in damp conditions.

Pry apart the top and bottom of the air lter as shown in Fig-

ure.

Cleaning the eece lter: Carefully tap out dust or carefully

blow out dust from the inside with compressed air. Do not

brush the eece, as this will force dirt particles into the fabric.

If the lter is very dirty, it can be washed in lukewarm water

with regular dishwashing detergent. Note that the eece lter

does not need to be cleaned until there is a noticeable loss of

power. If cleaning the lter does not bring an improvement in

performance, it is time to replace it.

Cleaning the nylon lter: Use a soft brush or blow out dirt

from the inside with compressed air. If the lter is very dirty, it

can be washed in lukewarm water with regular dishwashing

detergent. Clean frequently (several times a day) when working

in very dusty or dirty conditions. Full engine power is possible

only with a clean air lter!

Let the air lter dry completely.

Put the top and bottom sections back together.

Before assembling the air lter, check the choke ap for any dirt

particles. If there are any, remove them with a brush.

Clean the area around the O-ring (5) at the induction opening.

If the O-ring is damaged, replace it!

CAUTION: If the air lter becomes damaged, replace imme-

diately! Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy

the engine!

Insert an air lter (4).

Push down the combination switch (3) and press the throttle

(6) all the way down one time in order to deactivate the throt-

tle lock.

Put the hood (2) back on, rst guiding the two holders (7) into

their slots.

Screw the hood lock (1) back on tightly clockwise.
