Maintenance
Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly
this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore
important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see
Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service
interval).
Replace the air filter as follows:
1 Open the engine cover.
2 Pull up the handle on the air filter cover, unhook and turn
towards the engine.
3 Remove the air filter cover.
Lift out the air filter cartridge from the fan housing.
Replace the air filter cartridge, if clogged with dirt.
4 Carefully lift the precleaner out of the fan housing.
5 Carefully clean the fan housing so that dirt does not fall
down into the carburettor.
6 Insert a new precleaner and air filter cartridge in the fan
housing.
7 Align the tabs on the cover with the slits in the housing and
replace the air filter cover.
8 Pull the handle outwards. Secure the handle in the air
filter cover and close the cover by pressing it inwards.
!
WARNING! The exhaust system is hot. Let it
cool before starting to replace the air filter.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.
The filters must not be oiled. They must be fitted dry.
