Insert the filter cartridge into its housing and replace the air box lid, ensuring that each
component is in place and properly installed. If the filter cartridge is damaged or is very
dirty, replace it using a genuine part.
WARNING: Do not twist the cartridge to clean foam, as you could damage it. This mower
is equipped with a dual filtration system comprising a foam pre
‐
filter and a cartridge filter
paper.
The maintenance of a foam pre
‐
filter is identical to that of a foam cartridge filter, as
described above. The cartridge filter paper should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. If it
is dirty or contaminated with oil or petrol, replace it.
Clean the cover and inside of the air box with a clean cloth. Evenly apply a thin layer of oil
to the outside of the cartridge filter with a brush (you can use clean engine oil for this).
Replace the filter cartridge in its housing and then replace the lid of the air box, ensuring
that each component is in place and properly installed.
Adjusting the transmission cable
In its transmission
‐
engaged position, the mower’s advance lever is pushed
fully towards
the handlebar. An incorrectly
‐
adjusted transmission cable can
cause premature wear to
the mower’s drive system.
If the transmission cable is too tight, it will be difficult to move the advance
lever towards
the handlebars. Conversely, if the transmission cable is not tight
enough, the transmission
will function poorly and will lack power.
To adjust the tension of the cable transmission,
increase or reduce the length of the
adjustment
device using the key. Check the effectiveness
of the transmission and the
resistance of the lever.
Once proper adjustment has been reached, secure
the adjustment device by tightening the
lock nuts.
