MAINTENANCE
Hot surfaces and rotating machine parts while the engine is running can cause
serious injury or even death. Always switch off the machine for conversion,
adjustment, cleaning and maintenance work and secure it against unintentional
recommissioning.
The machine is low-maintenance and only a few parts have to be serviced. Nevertheless,
malfunctions or defects which could impair the safety of the user must be rectified immediately!
If you are unable to carry out necessary maintenance work properly and/or do not have the
required training, always consult a specialist workshop to get the problem fixed.

17.3 Cleaning the Air Filter
A dirty air filter makes it difficult to start the engine and reduces the engine power.
Procedure:
1. Loosen the wing nut on the air filter housing, remove the cover and check that there is no
dirt in the filter.
2. If necessary, clean the air filter in warm soapy water.
3. Allow the air filter to dry completely.
4. Then soak the air filter with 2-stroke engine oil.
5. Squeeze out excess oil.
6. Insert the oil-soaked filter.
7. Mount the air filter cover and tighten the wing nut.
Signs indicating a necessary air filter change:
- Engine power decreases, at the same time fuel consumption increases
- Oil consumption increases
- Starting the engine becomes more difficult
