Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or goes
irregularly the reason may be that the air filter is
clogged.
It is therefore important to replace the air filter at
regular intervals (see ”Maintenance schedule” for
correct service interval).
1. Fold 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.
4. Lift out the air filter cartridge from the fan
housing.
Replace the paper filter if it is clogged with dirt.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the
paper filter.
Filters should not be oiled. They should be
assembled dry.
5. Carefully lift the precleaner out of the fan
housing. Carefully clean the fan housing so that
dirt does not fall down into the carburetor.
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.
