MAINTENANCE
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 ywheel.
3 Cooling ns 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 bevel gear is lled with the right amount of grease at the
factory. However, before using the machine you should check
that the bevel gear is lled 3/4 full with grease. Use
JONSERED special grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be
changed except if repairs are carried out.
Air lter
The air lter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt
in order to avoid:
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the lter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions
are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air lter
Remove the air lter cover and take out the lter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the lter is dry before
retting it.
An air lter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The lter must therefore be replaced with
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air lter must
always be replaced.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air lter should
be soaked in oil. See instructions under the heading Oiling the
air lter.
Oiling the air lter
Always use special lter oil. Filter oil contains a solvent to
make it spread evenly through the lter. You should therefore
avoid skin contact.
Put the lter in a plastic bag and pour the lter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the lter inside the plastic bag and pour off
the excess before tting the lter to the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This would drain through the lter quite
quickly and collect in the bottom.
