MAINTENANCE
32 – English
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
Loosen the screws (1 and 2).
Push the muffler cover as shown in the picture.
Loosen the screws and nuts. Remove and check that the
muffler is ok.
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.
The muffler is equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. The spark arrestor mesh should be cleaned once a
month. This is best done with a wire brush. A blocked
mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to
serious damage.
Note! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a
machine with a muffler that is in poor condition.
Never
use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or
defective.
Starter
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the
notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring
by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
!
WARNING! When the recoil spring is
wound up in the starter housing it is
under tension and can, if handled
carelessly, pop out and cause personal
injury.
Care must be exercised when replacing
the return spring or the starter cord.
Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves.
