Maintenance and care

Cleaning the fuel filter
(Suction head on the fuel tank)
WARNING!
Open flames are strictly forbidden.
Check and clean the fuel filter monthly, or after 50 operating
hours at the most.
The fuel required by the carburettor is filtered by the
fine filter (27-1) in the suction head.
Carry out regular visual inspections of the fine filter.
(27)
In order to inspect the fine filter (27-1) , open the tank cap, and use a wire hook to pull the suction
head out through the tank opening. If the fine filter (27-1) is hardened, contaminated, or blocked,
then replace it (27-1) with a new filter.
Replace the fine filter (27-1) at least every 3 months, so that sufficient supply of fuel to the carbu-
rettor is ensured. An insufficient fuel supply results in difficulties when starting the motor, and to
a reduction in the maximum rotational speed.
Replacement of the fuel pipe
WARNING!
Open flames are strictly forbidden.
Inspect and clean the fuel pipe (28-1) every day, or after
10 operating hours at the most.
Replace the fuel pipe
(28-1)
after 200 operating hours
or at least every year, regardless of the number of ope-
rating hours. Otherwise, a fire may occur because of
leaking fuel.
If you notice leaking fuel, replace the fuel pipe
(28-1)
immediately.

Replacing the tank cap
If the tank cap (28-2) is cracked or otherwise dama-
ged, replace it.
Over time, the tank cap shows signs of wear. Replace
it every two to three years.
If maintenance work and settings need to be carried out
which are not explained in these instructions for use, con-
tact your authorised solo by AL-KO service centre.
