During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period.
As all moving parts have to bed in during
the break-in period, the frictional
resistances in the engine are greater
during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During operation
After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
After finishing work
Storing for short period:
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank and keep the unit in a dry place,
away from sources of ignition, until you
need it again.
Storing for a long period:
see chapter "Storing the Machine".
Dirty air filters reduce engine power
increase fuel consumption and make
starting more difficult.
If there is a noticeable loss of engine
power
: Move choke lever to g.
: Press in the tab (1).
: Ease the filter cover (2) over the tab
and take it away.
: Clean away loose dirt from around
the filter.
: Remove the foam and felt filter
elements.
: Wash the foam element in a clean,
non-flammable cleaning solution
(e.g. warm soapy water) and then
dry.
: Fit new felt element.
As a temporary measure you can
knock it out on the palm of your
hand or blow it out with compressed
air. Do not wash.
Replace damaged parts!
: Install the foam element (3) in the
filter cover (2).
: Place felt element (4) (lettering
facing inward) in filter housing (5).
: Fit filter cover so that it snaps into
position.
