To clean the air filter
The air filter must be regulary cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunctions.
• Starting problems.
• Loss of engine power.
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.
1. Lift up the cylinder cover.
2. Remove the air filter.
3. Brush or shake the air filter clean. Wash it in
detergent and water to clean it more thoroughly.
Note: An air filter that has been in use for a long time
can't be clean completely. The filter must therefore
be replaced with a new one at regular intervals.
Always replace a damaged air filter.
4. Refit the air filter and make sure that the air filter
seals tightly against the filter holder.
A Zenoah chainsaw can be equipped with different types
of air filter according to working conditions, weather,
season etcetera. Contact your servicing dealer for
advice.
