regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for
the proper service interval).

The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during
operation. Risk for burns if
touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system
to cool at least two (2) minutes.
Cleaning/replacing the air fi lter is carried out as
follows:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the air
fi lter.
Do not wash the paper fi lter.
Do not oil the paper fi lter.
