MAINTENANCE

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.
