Muffler
CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic
converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether
your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible
material.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you
should clean the screen at least once a week. This is best
done with a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalytic
converter the screen should be cleaned weekly, or
replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic
converter the screen should be checked, and if necessary
cleaned, monthly. If the screen is damaged it should be
replaced. If the screen is frequently blocked, this can be
a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is
impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Fins on the flywheel.
3 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
4 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.

Bevel gear

the factory. However, before using the machine you
