1. Technical description
1.1 Long-life air filter system with cyclone
pre-separation
The long-life air filter system with cyclone pre-
separation provides extended filter service intervals
to more than a year on average.
For this reason:
The filter cover should only be removed and the
air filter replaced if there is a noticeable loss of
power or more than a year of extended use has
passed since the last filter change. Do not clean
the air filter as damage to the filter element and
consequential engine damage could occur.
The tank housing (1) is shown with all its individual
parts in order to illustrate the underlying principle.
Contaminated air is drawn in, through the tank
housing (1) and is swirled by the cyclone pre-
separation integrated into the tank housing (1).
This rotation deflects the larger and heavier
suspended particles downwards and returns them
to the tank housing (1).
The contaminated air streams through the molded
hose (3) to the fan-side half of the crankcase (2) and
out of the machine.
This precleaned air flows through the air filter
system – comprising the air filter (4) and auxiliary
filter (5) – to the carburetor (6). This principle
extends the filter life to more than a year on average
and the service life of the shortblock at the same
time.
