Cleaning the air Þ lter
CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection
when cleaning the Þ lter with compressed air!
Do not clean the air Þ lter with fuel or ß ammable liquids!
Disengage the hood clips (5) with the combination tool and
remove the hood (2).
Push up the combination switch (3) (Choke position) to prevent
dirt particles from falling into the carburetor.
Turn the air Þ lter lock (1) counter clockwise to disengage it and
lift away the air Þ lter (4).
IMPORTANT: Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth to
prevent dirt particles from getting into the carburetor.
Cleaning the Þ lter: Carefully tap out dust or carefully blow
out dust from the inside with compressed air. Do not brush the
ß eece, as this will force dirt particles into the fabric. If the Þ lter
is very dirty, wash it out in a lukewarm solution of dishwash-
ing liquid and rinse it out from the inside under running water.
Note that the Þ lter does not need to be cleaned until there is a
noticeable loss of power. If cleaning the Þ lter does not bring an
improvement in performance, it is time to replace it.
Let the air Þ lter dry out thoroughly.
NOTE: Do not dry it with a heat source.
Before assembling the air Þ lter, check the choke ß ap for any dirt
particles. If there are any, remove them with a brush.
CAUTION: If the air Þ lter becomes damaged, replace im-
mediately! Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy
the engine!
Put in the air Þ lter (4) and make sure it is evenly seated in its
space.
Turn the air Þ lter lock (1) clockwise to tighten it.
Push down the combination switch (3) and press the throttle
(6) all the way down one time in order to deactivate the throttle
lock.
Put on the hood (2) and lock it by pressing in the hood clips
(5).
