Maintenance and care

12. Maintenance and care
Any cleaning, maintenance or repair jobs should
only be performed when the engine is stopped and
with removed spark plug cap.
The exception, of course, is carburetor tuning.
Any service jobs, other than those described in
this manual, should only be carried out by an
authorized service center. Only original parts may
be used for any maintenance and service work.
Never modify your motorized mistblower – your
personal safety is at risk.
Never service or store the machine near an open
flame.
Regularly check the fuel tank lid for sealing and
tank ventilation. Only use recommended spark
plugs. Check ignition cable for any damage.
After a running in period of approx. 5 hours, all
accessible screws and nuts (except for carburetor
mixture adjustment needles) have to be checked
and re-tightened if required.
Never operate a motorized mistblower with a
damaged muffler or without muffler (fire risk and
risk of damage to hearing). Do not touch hot
muffler.

12.1 Filter Maintenance

The air filter separates and retains dirt before the
air reaches the combustion chamber. This reduces
engine wear.
Regular maintenance increases engine life.
Clogged air filters cause performance loss and
increased fuel consumption. This leads to a higher
toxin level in the exhaust gas and also makes
starting more difficult.
Before opening the air filter housing, close
the choke to prevent dirt entering the
carburettor.
ENGLISH 12
To open the air filter housing press in the black
clamp and open the housing cover downwards.
Remove foam filter.
When the machine is used all day, the air filter
should be cleaned daily. In severe dust conditions
clean more often in between.
For daily cleaning:
Tap the air filter against an object or use an air
gun.
With heavy dust conditions and for normal weekly
check:
Wash a heavily soiled filter in non-flammable
cleaning solvents (warm soapy water).
Wipe the air cleaner housing clean with a dry or
slightly damp cloth. Before inserting the filter, the
housing and the filter must be completely dry
again.
Never insert moist or wet foam filters!
Immediately replace damaged filter parts.
When re-fitting, ensure the filter is positioned and
seated properly.
If the filter material is damaged, replace the
corresponding parts immediately.
Warranty claims cannot be accepted for damaged
engine parts caused by improper care and
maintenance.
