MAINTENANCE
Replacement of the fuel filter
Replace the pipe fitted fuel filter every 100 running hours (once per season) or more frequently if it is clogged.
Replace the filter as follows:
1.Fold open the engine cover.
2.Move the hose clips away from the filter. Use a pair of flat pliers.
3.Pull off the filter from the hose ends.
4.Press in the new filter on the hose ends. If necessary soap solution can be applied on the filter ends to simplify fitting.
5.Push the hose clips back on the filter.
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.
Unscrew the wing nut (A) on top of the air filter and remove the cover.
3.Carefully remove the precleaner. Wash and reoil the precleaner every 25 hours of opera- tion. Wash the precleaner in warm water with detergent. Rinse precleaner with clear warm water. Squeeze water out (do not wring to avoid tearing). Allow to dry before lightly oiling with fresh engine oil and installing it over the paper filter.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.
Filters should not be oiled. They should be assembled dry.
4.Replace the paper filter every 100 hours or if it is clogged with dirt. Unscrew the wing nut (B) and remove the paper filter.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if touched. Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before refueling.
