Air fi lter (Fig. 18)
The air fi lter must be cleaned from dust and dirt in
order to avoid:
○ Carburetor malfunctions.
○ Starting problems.
○ Engine power reduction.
○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.
○ Abnormal fuel consumption.
Clean the air fi lter daily or more often if working in
exceptionally dusty areas.
Cleaning the air fi lter
Remove the air fi lter cover and the fi lter (14). Rinse
it in gasoline. Check that the fi lter is dry before
reassembly. An air fi lter that has been used for some
time cannot be cleaned completely. Therefore,
it must regularly be replaced with a new one. A
damaged fi lter must always be replaced.
Fuel fi lter (Fig. 19)
Remove the fuel fi lter (15) from the fuel tank, and
replace it if it is dirty.
