5.4 NUTS AND SCREWS
Periodically check that all the nuts and screws are securely
tightened and the hand grips are tightly fastened.

could permanently damage the engine.
It must be cleaned after every 8-10 working hours.

– Loosen the knob (1), remove the cover (2) and the filter
element (3).
– Wash the filter element (3) with soap and water. Do not use petrol or other solvents.
