Winter use
Running problems can occur when using the machine in
the cold and snowy conditions caused by:
• Too low engine temperature.
• Icing of the air filter and carburettor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
• Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.
• Preheat the intake air to the carburettor by utilising the
heat from the engine.
There is a special winter kit available when using the
machine in cold and/or snowy conditions, this includes the
following:
• a special air filter cover without air intake (A)
• a cover for the filter holder (B)
• a cover for the starter housing (C)
• a special wear guard with an air duct (D) that routes
the hot air from the muffler to the carburettor
• a special air filter with a coarser mesh size (E)
Temperature 0°C or colder:
Fit the covers for the starter housing and air filter holder
using the three screws provided as shown in the figure.
Remove the air filter and air filter cover from the machine.
Fit the air filter and air filter cover supplied with the winter
kit.
Temperature -5°C or colder:
Dismantle the machine’s wear guard, and fit the wear
guard from the winter kit as shown in the figure. Pay
particular attention that the opening on the air duct is
positioned in the centre of the hole in the air filter holder.

IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C or
0
°C respectively the machine MUST be restored to its
normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating,
which can cause severe engine damage.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that
described in this manual must be carried out by your
servicing dealer (retailer).
