Icing protection system (Fig. 43, 44)
This system is to protect carburetor from icing when the
unit is operated in winter time.
1. When you need icing system work, remove air fi lter
cover (40). Pull out the shutter (44) from inside the
air fi lter cover and reinstall it in winter time position
by turning half-way. (Fig. 43) This will allow heated
air to fl ow from cylinder side to carburetor cabin
through the opening (45).

NOTE
When winter time has been over and carburetor will
not suff er from icing, make sure that the shutter is
reinstalled in ordinary position (Fig. 44).
