MAINTENANCE
Air filter
•
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter.
•
Clean the filter by knocking the filter against a flat
surface. Never use solvent with petroleum, for
example, kerosene, or compressed air to clean the
filter.
•
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot
be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be
replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A
damaged air filter must always be replaced.
•
When reassembling, make sure that the filter
completely seals against the filter holder.

original cap appropriate for that particular engine.
