Tank venting
The tank vent has a non-return valve
that permits air to enter the tank, but
prevents fuel from running out. The
sintered metal filter permits air to pass
slowly.
Fault indication
Blocked tank vent is shown as follows:
As the fuel tank is emptied during use
an underpressure is created in the tank,
which reduces the fuel supply – the
machine lacks power. When filler cap is
opened air suction is audible.

Changing the fuel hose
Loosen the cable lug to the stop switch
to gain better access to the fuel hose.
Remove the hose from the tank at the
same time as it is fed down through the
hole in the carburettor compartment
little by little.
The new hoses is fed down into the tank
from the carburettor compartment. Feed
down the hose by hand or with the help
of a pair of pliers. Greasing the hoses
facilitates assembly.

Fit the hose in the same direc-
tion by hand or with the help
of a pair of pliers. Greasing the
hoses facilitates assembly.
Note how the fuel hose is fitted on the
tank unit when assembling.
Do not forget to refit the cable lug on
the stop switch!
Note the how the fuel hose is

Refit the cable lug!
Exclude the carburettor as the
cause of the leakage
Dismantle the carburettor unit. Plug
the hose by the carburettor and redo the
pressure test. If the hose is intact, the
carburettor must be checked.

Dismantling
The carburettor unit must be dismantled
to gain access to the tank vent.
Remove the choke control.
