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).
