Maintaining the air filter
Warning
Cleaning agents pose a fire and explosion
hazard.
► Never clean the air filter with flammable
solvents.
Notice
A cleaning of the air filter with compressed
air damages the filter fabric and the air filter
becomes useless.
► Change the air filter when it is dirty.
Notice
When you use air filters from accessory
suppliers, the engine can be damaged.
► Only use the original AS-Motor air filter
cartridges.
Make sure that the air filter is always clean. A
dirty air filter reduces the engine performance
and leads to increased engine wear and fuel
consumption. Irrespective of the operating
hours, change the filter insert at least once a
year. Cleaning the air filter is not possible. Do
not operate the engine without air filter.
Beware!
During filter change, accumulated dirt
in the air filter can get into the carburetor and
damage it.
1. Screw off the air filter cap.
2. Carefully pull out the filter element. Make
sure that no dirt from the inside of the air fil-
ter housing enters the carburetor.
3. Close the suction opening with a clean
cloth.
4. Thoroughly clean the inside of the air filter
housing.
5. Remove rough, loose dirt from the filter ele-
ment by tapping. Replace the filter element
in case of heavy, stubborn dirt.
6. Remove the cloth of the suction opening.
7. Re-insert the filter element.
8. Close the air filter cap again.
