Cleaning The Air Filter Compartment/Fan Compartment; Cleaning The Cylinder Fins; Replacing The Suction Head - Makita EA3500S Manual De Instrucciones

Hold the cable drum with your left hand and untwist the cable
with your right hand, pull it tight and hold it.
Carefully release the cable drum. The spring will wind the
cable around the drum.
Repeat the procedure once. The starter grip should now
stand straight up on the fan housing.
NOTE: With the cable pulled all the way out, it must still be
possible to turn the pulley another 1/4 turn against the return
spring.
CAUTION: Danger of injury! Secure the cable grip when
pulled out! It will whip back if the cable pulley is released
by accident.
Replacing the return spring pack
Disassemble the fan housing and cable drum (see above).
CAREFUL! Injury hazard! The return spring can pop out!
Always wear eye protection and protective gloves!
Lightly tap the fan housing on a wooden surface with the
entire surface of the hollow side, and hold it down. Now lift
the fan housing carefully and in small steps. This will allow
the return spring pack (13), which should now have fallen out,
to relax in a controlled manner if the return spring has popped
out of the plastic pack.
Carefully insert a new return spring cassette and press down
until it engages.
Place the cable drum on it and turn it slightly until the return
spring engages.
Install the spring (6) and driver (8) and screw on tight with
screw (7).
Tension the spring (see above).
Replacing the starter spring
NOTE: If the spring (6) in the Featherlight-Starting system
is broken, more effort will be required to start the engine
and you will notice some resistance when pulling the starter
cable. If you notice this, check the spring (6) and replace if
necessary.
Mounting the fan housing
Insert the air guide (3) in the fan housing so that the three
recesses (4) engage.
Position the fan housing against the housing, press against it
lightly and pull the starter grip until the starter engages.
Tighten screws (1).
7-11. Cleaning the air filter compartment/fan
compartment (Fig. 76)
Remove cover.
Remove the fan housing.
CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye
protection when cleaning the filter with compressed air!
The entire area (15) can now be brushed clean or cleaned
with compressed air.
7-12. Cleaning the cylinder fins (Fig. 77)
A bottle brush can be used to clean the cylinder fins.
7-13. Replacing the suction head (Fig. 78)
The felt filter (16) of the suction head can become clogged. It
is recommended to replace the suction head once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the
carburetor.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out
through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one
end to form a hook.
