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
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
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.
