Clean the fuel filter
Note: The petrol filter is a filter cup, which is located
directly under the tank cap and filters all the fuel that
is filled in.

• Remove the fuel filter and clean in non-flammable
solvent.
• Put in the air filter.
• Close the tank cover.

Switch off the engine and allow it to cool.
Caution! Danger of burning
Clean or replace spark plug as required:
1. Remove the spark plug connector and clean any
dirt from the spark plug area.
2. Unscrew the spark plug and check it.
3. If there is any damage, e.g. cracks or chips, re-
place the spark plug.
4. Clean the spark plug electrodes with a wire brush.
5. Check and set the electrode gap.
6. Screw the spark plug in and tighten with the spark
plug spanner.
7. Place the spark plug connector on the spark plug.
When replacing, ensure that no dirt gets into the
cylinder head.
Check the fit of the spark plug.
A loose spark plug can cause damage to the engine
by overheating.
Pulling too hard can damage the thread in the cylinder
head.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the result-
ing damages; the user solely bears the risk. Only
use the recommended spark plugs or identical
spark plugs.

8. Hang the filter cover (F) in place once more and
secure with the 2 clamps (E).
If the engine is operated in very dusty environments,
clean the air filter daily or after every ten operating
hours.
Never run the engine without an air filter or with a dam-
aged air filter. This would allow dirt into the engine,
which would result in severe damage to the engine.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the resulting
damages; the user solely bears the risk.
