WARNING

Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing your unit, make sure that engine has stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

■MAINTENANCE AFTER EACH USE

To assemble the cleaner halves, press the rim until it clicks.

NOTE

When installing the main filter, make sure that the grooves on the filter edge are correctly fit with the projections on the cylin- der cover.
