Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to reduce vibration and make
operation easier.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a
significant risk of fire. Consequently, we have equipped
the muffler with a spark arrestor screen mounted inside
the muffler.
For mufflers it is very important that you follow the
instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your
machine. See instructions under the heading Checking,
maintaining and servicing the machine’s safety
equipment.

symptoms normally appear in the
