9.3 Maintenance of the air fi lter (Fig. 31-33)
Soiled air fi lters reduce the engine power by
supplying too little air to the carburetor. Regular
checks are therefore essential. The air fi lter (T)
should be checked after every 25 hours of use
and cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a
lot of dust, the air fi lter should be checked more
frequently.
1. Remove the air fi lter cover (Fig. 31-32).
2. Remove the air fi lter (Fig. 33).
3. Clean the air fi lter by tapping it or blowing it
out.
4. Assemble in reverse order.
Important: Never clean the air fi lter with petrol or
infl ammable solvents.
9.4 Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 34)
Spark plug sparking gap = 0.6mm. Tighten the
spark plug with a torque of 12 to 15 Nm. Check
the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of
operation and if necessary clean it with a copper
wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after
every 50 hours of operation.
1. Pull out the spark boot plug (Fig. 13).
2. Remove the spark plug (Fig. 34) with the sup-
plied multifunction tool (27).
3. Assemble in reverse order.
9.5 Carburetor settings
Important! Settings on the carburetor may only
be made by authorized customer service person-
nel.
9.6 Setting the idling speed
Important! Set the idling speed when the equip-
ment is warm.
If the engine stalls when the throttle is not pressed
and you have ruled out all the other possible
causes listed in section 12 „Troubleshooting", the
idling speed must be adjusted. To do this, turn
the idling speed screw (Fig. 41/Item E) clockwise
until the equipment runs smoothly at idling speed.
If the idling speed is so fast that the cutting tool
turns as well, it has to be reduced by turning the
idling speed screw for as long as is required for
the cutting tool to stop turning as well.
9.7 Applying grease to the gear unit
After every 20 hours of use add a little gear gre-
ase (approx. 10 g.) at the lubrication nipple (Fig.
28/Item 21).

10. Cleaning, storage, transport and
ordering of spare parts
10.1 Cleaning
•
Clean the equipment as required with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up
liquid.
Important!
Always pull out the spark boot plug each time
before carrying out any cleaning. Never immerse
the equipment in water or other liquids in order to
clean it.
Store the equipment in a safe and dry place out of
the reach of children.
10.2 Storage
Important: Never put the equipment into storage
for longer than 30 days without carrying out the
following steps.
Storing the equipment
If you intend to store the equipment for longer
than 30 days, the equipment must be prepared
accordingly. Otherwise the fuel still remaining in
the carburetor will evaporate and leave a rubbery
sediment. This can cause problems when starting
up the equipment and may require expensive
repairs.
1. Slowly remove the fuel tank cap to release
any pressure that may have formed in the
tank. Carefully empty the tank.
2. To remove the fuel from the carburetor, start
the engine and let it run until it stops.
3. Leave the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Remove the spark plug (see section 9.4).
5. Add one teaspoon of 2-stroke engine oil into
the combustion chamber. Slowly pull the star-
ter cord several times to apply a layer of oil
to all internal components. Fit the spark plug
again.
Note: Store the equipment in a dry place and
far away from possible ignition sources such as
an oven, a gas-fi red hot water boiler, a gas-fi red
dryer, etc.
