Replacing the fuel filter
The felt filter (

) of the fuel filter can become clogged. It is
recommended to replace the fuel filter once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the
carburetor.
To remove the fuel filter for replacement, pull it out through the
tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to
form a hook.
Cleaning the cylinder area
Remove cover.
Remove the fan housing.
CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protec-
tion when cleaning the filter with compressed air!
The entire area (

) can now be brushed clean or cleaned
with compressed air.
A bottle brush can come in handy for cleaning out the cylinder
ribs.
