Air Filter; Cleaning The Air Filter; Spark Plug - Jonsered BC2235 Manuel D'utilisation

Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunctions.
• Starting problems.
• Loss of engine power.
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts
• Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry
before refitting it.
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.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter
should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the
heading Oiling the air filter.
Oiling the air filter
Always use special filter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to
make it spread evenly through the filter. You should
therefore avoid skin contact.
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never
use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
MAINTENANCE

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:
• Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0,5
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/
cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a
suppressor.
Note: Use only JONSERED replacement parts. Use of
other brands of replacement parts can cause damage to
your unit or injury to the operator or others. Your
warranty does not cover damage or liability caused by
the use of accessories and/or attachments not
specifically recommended by JONSERED.
