MAINTENANCE
Changing a broken recoil spring
•Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove the pulley.
•Bear in mind that the return spring lies tensioned in the starter housing.
•Loosen the bolts holding the spring cassette.
•Remove the recoil spring by turning the starter over and loosen the hooks, with the help of a screwdriver. The hooks hold the return spring assembly on the starter.
•Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and tension the recoil spring.
Fitting the starter
•To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with the pawls.
•Tighten the screws.
Fuel system
General
•Check that the fuel cap and its seal are not damaged.
•Check the fuel hose. Replace when damaged.
Fuel filter
•The fuel filter sits inside the fuel tank.
•The fuel tank must be protected from contamination when filling. This reduces the risk of operating disturbances caused by blockage of the fuel filter located inside the tank.
•The filter cannot be cleaned but must be replaced with a new filter when it is clogged. The filter should be changed at least once per year.
Air filter
The air filter only needs to be checked if the engine drops in power.
•Loosen the screws. Remove the air filter cover.
•Check the air filter and replace if necessary.
Replacing the air filter
NOTICE! The air filter must not be cleaned or blown clean with compressed air. This will damage the filter.
•Loosen the screws. Remove the cover.
•Replace the air filter.
Drive gear, clutch
•Check the clutch centre, drive gear and clutch spring for wear.
