12.3 Air filter maintenance (Fig. 15, 16)
Fouled air filters diminish the engine output due to re-
duced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection
is therefore essential. The air filter should be checked
every 50 operating hours and cleaned as required.
The air filter must be checked more often in case of
very dusty air.
1. Loosen the wing nut (12a) on the air filter cover
(12).
2. Remove the filter.
3. Clean the air filter only by knocking out or with
compressed air.
4. The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
Attention: Never clean the air filter with petrol or com-
bustible solvents.
12.4 Maintaining/replacing the spark plug (19a)
(Fig. 17, 18)

a copper wire brush* if necessary. Then service the
spark plug every 50 operating hours.
1. Pull off the spark plug connector (19) with a twist-
ing motion.
2. Remove the spark plug (19a) with a spark plug
wrench*.
3. The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.
