AIR FILTER

The efficiency of the air intake filter on any engine
is of critical importance so it must be checked
and cleaned regularly. To clean the air filter, refer
to Fig.17 and proceed as follows:
· Unscrew the two knobs to remove the cover
in order to gain access to the filter (as shown
in Fig.17).
· Remove the filter and clean it by knocking it
against a hard surface; then use compressed
air and blow from the side of the metal mesh
and between the pleats, proceeding in a
lengthwise direction.
· Refit the filter and close the cover, tightening
the two knobs.
CAUTION – Using the blower without the
air filter or with a very dirty air filter can damage
the engine and will invalidate the warranty.
Change the filter when it can no longer be
cleaned efficiently.
FUEL FILTER (Fig. 18)
We recommend changing the fuel filter in the
fuel tank at least once a year. This operation must
be carried out by an Authorized Service Centre:
· Empty the fuel tank.
· Extract the filter and disconnect it from the
fuel hose.
· Fit a new filter in the fuel hose.
· Re-insert the filter in the fuel tank.
CAUTION – Failure to replace the fuel filter
when it is dirty will result in impaired operation
of the engine.
ENGINE
Clean cylinder fins with a brush or compressed
air periodically. Dangerous overheating of engine
may occur due to impurities on the cylinder.
