MAINTENANCE

Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder:

A special winter kit, including necessary parts and assembly instructions, is available for using the machine in cold temperatures.

345e: Before usage a hole is made in the cylinder cover and a winter ﬂap is ﬁtted (see illustration below).

346XP, 353: The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for running in cold weather.

Twist the winter ﬂap so that preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the carburetor space preventing icing of the air ﬁlter, etc.

For temperatures below -5°C (23°F) and/or in snow conditions there is also:

•a special cover (A) for the starter housing

•a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is ﬁtted as shown.

These reduce the ﬂow of cooling air and prevent large amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburetor space.

For further information see assembly instructions for the winter kit.

CAUTION! When the winter plug is ﬁtted the winter ﬂap must be open!

IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C (23°F) or 0°C (32°F) respectively the machine MUST be restored to its normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, which can cause severe engine damage.
