Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunctions.
• Starting problems.
• Loss of engine power.
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.
Check the airfilter and clean it when it´s necessary.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces on muffler, cylinder etc.
Contact can result in burns to the skin.
Cleaning the air filter
• Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash
it clean in warm, soapy water.
• Refit the air filter and air filter cover. Do not forget to
put the air screen back in place. If the grill is missing,
the air cleaner is not properly sealed, and dust can get
into the cylinder.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
MAINTENANCE
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 filter
should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the
heading Oiling the air filter.
Oiling the air filter
Always use special filter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to
make it spread evenly through the filter. You should
therefore avoid skin contact.
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over 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.

Shoulder strap

If the shoulder strap is damaged, it may break while in use
and the machine may fall causing personal injury. Follow
the instructions below to replace the shoulder strap.
1 Remove the clamp from the strap.
2 Run the end of the strap through the hanger.
3 Refit the clamp to the strap.
!
WARNING! Check that the thick round
pin in the clamp is inserted in the strap. If
it is inserted incorrectly it may lead to
personal injury.
