Keep the machine clean, especially the areas near the
gas tank and air filter.
Before adjusting or repairing the machine, make sure
the engine is stopped and the cover of the spark plug
has been removed.
Use the appropriate parts in order to obtain a safe and
adequate performance from the product. These parts
can be obtained from your distributor.
The use of other accessories could can
cause potential risks, injuries to the operator
or damage to the machine.
8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The obstruction of the air filter will cause the
performance of the engine to decrease. If necessary,
inspect and clean this element. If any damage or
alteration is observed, replace it with a new one.
To clean the dirt on the filter open the cover unscrew
the lid and remove the filter.
The dust on the surface
of the filter can be
removed by hitting
a corner of the filter
against a hard surface.
To clean the dirt inside, separate both parts of the
