MAINTENANCE
2
The paper filter is accessible under cover B. This filter
must be replaced/cleaned when the engine's power
drops. The filter is cleaned by shaking. Note that the filter
must not be washed. NOTE! High pressure compressed
air can damage the filter.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with
a new one at regular intervals.
A damaged air filter must
always be replaced.
Starter
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
•
Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
Pull the cord out about 30 cm and lift it into the cut-out in the
periphery of the starter pulley. When the cord is intact:
Release the spring tension by letting the pulley rotate slowly
backwards.
•
Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check
that the return spring works. Insert the new starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord
pulley.
•
Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as
illustrated. Tighten the fastening well and ensure that the
free end is as short as possible. Secure the end of the
starter cord in the starter handle.
Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of the
pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around the centre
of the starter pulley.
Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the spring.
Repeat the procedure once more, but this time with four turns.
Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct home
position after tensioning the spring.
Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position by
pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter pulley with
your thumb and check that you can turn the pulley at least a
further half turn.
Tensioning the recoil spring
•
Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn
the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Remove the cord from the cut-out on the starter pulley and
offload the spring tension by letting the pulley slowly rotate
backwards.
CAUTION! Check that the pulley can be turned an additional
1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way out.
IMPORTANT! Poor maintenance of the air filter will cause
carbon build-up on the spark plug and abnormal wear to
engine parts.
!
WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound
up in the starter housing it is under tension
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and
cause personal injury.
Always be careful when changing the recoil
spring or the starter cord. Always wear
protective goggles.
