13.5 Cleaning the fuel filter insert (17)
(Fig. 8)
Note:
The petrol filter is a fuel filter insert cup, which is located
directly under the fuel cap and filters all the fuel that is
filled in.
1. Unscrew the fuel filler cap (3).
2. Remove the fuel filter insert (17). Clean it in a non-
flammable solvent or a solvent with a high flash
point.
3. Reinsert the fuel filter insert (17).
4. Retighten the fuel filler cap (3).
13.6 Maintaining the air filter (6)
(Fig. 14)
DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
If not cleaned correctly, fuel may ignite and even ex-
plode. This can lead to severe burns or death.
– Only clean the air filter by knocking it out.
– Never clean the air filter with petrol or flammable
solvents.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without a filter element or with a
damaged filter element can cause engine damage.
– Never run the engine without the air filter element
or with a damaged filter element. This would allow
dirt into the engine, which would result in severe
damage to the engine.
ATTENTION
Fouled air filters diminish the engine output
due to reduced air supply to the carburettor.
Regular inspection is therefore essential.
Note:
The air filter should be checked prior to use and cleaned
as required.
1. Remove the air filter cover (6) by removing the cover
wing screw (6a).
2. Remove the air filter (6c) by removing the air filter
wing screw (6b).
3. Only clean the air filter (6c) by knocking it out.
4. Replace a faulty air filter (6c) with a new one.
5. Re-insert the air filter (6c) and fit the air filter wing
screw (6b).
6. Fit the air filter cover (6) with the cover wing screw
(6a).
13.7 Maintaining the spark plug (27)
(Fig. 15)
Check the spark plug for dirt for the first time after 20 op-
erating hours and clean it with a copper wire brush if
necessary. Then service the spark plug every 50 operat-
ing hours.
1. Remove the spark plug connector (26) from the
spark plug (27).
2. Use the spark plug spanner (M) to remove the spark
plug (27).
3. Remove any dirt from the base of the spark plug
(27).
4. Visually inspect the spark plug (27). Remove any de-
posits present using a copper wire brush.
5. Check the spark plug gap. Use a feeler gauge to ad-
just the electrode gap to 0.6-0.7 mm.
6. Replace the spark plug (27) and take care not to
tighten it excessively.
7. Then place the spark plug connector (26) on the
spark plug (27).
