Cleaning the product
Clean the product immediately after each use. Dried-
on soil residues are extremely hard and difficult to
remove.
– Remove rough soiling using a brush or plastic
scraper (do not use any sharp implements).
– Wipe down the product with a slightly damp
cloth.
– Never clean the product with water or high-pres-
sure jet.
Cleaning the air filter
NOTICE! Risk of product damage! The
product must never be operated without
the air filter, as this can cause damage to
the motor.
The air filter must be replaced if it is dam-
aged or badly contaminated.
NOTICE! Risk of product damage! Never
brush down a contaminated air filter.
Brushing drives dirt into the air filter's
fibres.
– Stop the motor and remove the spark plug con-
nector.
– Undo the screw on the air filter housing (6) and
remove the cover.
– Remove the air filter.
– Clean the air filter in warm water (with a little
detergent).
– Rinse the air filter with clear water.
– Allow the air filter to dry completely.
– Insert a clean or new air filter.
– Fit the cover and re-tighten the screw°.
Cleaning/replacing the spark plug
WARNING! Risk of injury due to high-
voltage! Do not touch the spark plug con-
nector and spark plug while the motor is
running.
– Disconnect the spark plug connector (3).
– Unscrew the spark plug.
– Check the electrode for discolouration. Standard
colour: light brown
– Check the electrode distance. Correct distance:
0,7–0,8 mm
Cleaning the spark plug
NOTICE! Risk of product damage! To
clean the spark plug, use only wire brushes
with brass bristles. Bristles of any other
material will damage the electrode!
– Remove rust from the electrode with a wire
brush.
Replacing the spark plug
NOTICE! Risk of product damage! Fit the
spark plug only when motor is cold.
– Insert a cleaned or new spark plug and tighten
by hand.
– Hand-tighten the screwed-in spark plug, then
use the spark plug wrench to firmly tighten by
another quarter turn, tightening any more will
damage the threads.
– Replace the spark plug connector (3) firmly on
the spark plug.
