MAINTENANCE
Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or goes irregu- larly the reason may be that the air filter is clogged.
It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see ”Maintenance \ Maintenance Schedule” for correct service interval)
The air filter is replaced as follows:
1.Raise the engine cover.
2.Pull up the handle on the air filter cover, unhook and turn towards the engine.
3. Remove the air filter cover.
4. Lift out the air filter cartridge from the fan housing.
Replace the paper filter if it is clogged with dirt.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.
Filters should not be oiled. They should be assembled dry.
5. Carefully lift the precleaner out of the fan housing. Carefully clean the fan housing so that dirt does not fall down into the carburetor.
6. nsert a new precleaner and air filter cartridge in the fan housing.
7. Align the tabs on the cover with the slits in the housing and replace the air filter cover.
8.Pull the handle outwards. Secure the handle in the air filter cover and close the cover by
pressing it inwards.
