Cleaning the air filter
CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protec-
tion when cleaning the filter with compressed air!
Do not use fuel to clean the air filter
.
Loosen the scew (
1
) counter‑clockwise and remove the
hood (

Push up the combination switch (

) (Choke position) to prevent
dirt particles from falling into the carburetor.
Pull the air filter cover tab (4
) slightly in the direction of the
arrow, and remove the air filter cover.
Remove the air filter (5).
IMPORTANT:
Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth to
prevent dirt particles from getting into the carburetor.
If the filter is very dirty, clean it in lukewarm water with dish
‑
washing detergent.
Let the air filter dry completely.
If the filter is very dirty, clean it frequently (several times a day),
because only a clean air filter provides full engine power.
CAUTION:
Replace damaged air filters immediately.
Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can destroy the
engine!
Insert the air filter (5) in the illustrated direction.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the air filter upside-down, even after clean
-
ing it. Otherwise dirt particles on the outside surface
of the air filter come into the carburetor and can cause
an engine trouble.

the air filter cover is properly positioned.
