Icing protection system (Fig. 39, 40)
This system is to protect carburetor from icing when the unit is
operated in winter time.
1. When you need icing system work, remove air fi lter cover (41).
Pull out the shutter (45) from inside the air fi lter cover and
reinstall it in winter time position by turning half-way. (Fig. 39)
This will allow heated air to fl ow from cylinder side to carburetor
cabin through the opening (46).
NOTE
When winter time has been over and carburetor will not suff er
from icing, make sure that the shutter is reinstalled in ordinary
position (Fig. 40).
For long-term storage
Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops.
Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with
a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of
two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole,
and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.
Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.
