CLEANING OF FUEL FILTER

WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Monthly (every 50 operating hours)

Suction head in the fuel tank

The fuel filler (1) of the suction head is used to filler the fuel required by the carburetor.

A periodical visual inspection of the fuel filter is to be conducted. For that purpose open the tank cap, use a wire hook and pull out the suction head through the tank opening. Filters found to have hardened, been polluted or clogged up are to be replaced.

Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed being exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the fuel filter at least quarterly to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.
