Maintenance and Care

3.6 Air Filter Maintenance

The air filter separates and retains dirt before the
air reaches the combustion chamber. This reduces
engine wear.

Regular maintenance increases engine life.
Clogged air filters cause performance loss and
increased fuel consumption. This leads to a higher
toxin level in the exhaust gas and also makes
starting more difficult.
When the machine is used all day, the air filter
should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions
clean more often in between.
For a simple cleaning procedure we recommend
tapping the air filter.
Never use a high pressure air cleaner nor wet
or moist cleaning. Do not use solvent or oil
bath cleaners!
If engine rpm's tend to drop although the
carburettor adjustments are perfectly set, the air
filter cartridge is clogged and must be replaced by a
new one (Order-Nr. 20 48 280).
Never do realignments on the factory carburettor
settings in order to balance a clogged air filter
system. This procedure would cause engine damages
due overload of the engine.
Warranty claims cannot be accepted for damaged
engine parts caused by improper care and
maintenance
For removal of the air filter, remove filter cover.
Remove filter cover screw (Fig. 1 Pos. 8).
