13.1 Cleaning the engine unit
m WARNING
Danger of burning!
Do not touch hot silencers, cylinders or cooling fins.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the engine housing
as free of dust and dirt as possible. Blow it out with low-
pressure compressed air.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth
and a little detergent. Make sure that no water can pen-
etrate the device interior.
13.2 Cleaning the filter (33) (Fig. 17)
Fouled air filters diminish the engine output due to reduced air
supply to the carburettor.
Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air filter (33)
should be checked regularly and cleaned as required.
The air filter (33) must be checked more frequently in the case
of very dusty air.
1. Loosen the catch for the air filter cover (10) by turning
it anti-clockwise.
2. Remove the air filter cover (9).
3. Remove the air filter (33).
4. Clean the air filter (33) by knocking out or blowing out
(with compressed air).
The re-assembly takes place in reverse order.

after 10 operating hours and clean it with a copper wire
brush if necessary.
Then service the spark plug (34) every 50 operating hours.
