• At the end of the season, carry out a general check
of the scarifier, and remove all residue collected.
Before the start of every season, it is absolutely
necessary to check the state of the scarifier. Con-
tact our Customer Service if repair work is neces-
sary.
Servicing the air filter
Soiled air filters reduce the engine output by supply
too little air to the carburetor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter
should be checked after every 50 hours of use and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust,
the air filter should be checked more frequently.
• Remove the air filter as shown in Fig. 15+16.
• Clean the air filter only with compressed air or by
tapping it.
• Assemble in reverse order
Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or in-
flammable solvents.
Servicing/Replacing the spark plug
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.
• Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 17) with a twist.
• Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench
(Fig. 18).
• Assemble in reverse order.
Preparing the equipment for storage
Caution: Do not empty the petrol tank in enclosed
areas, near fire or wen smoking. Petrol fumes can
cause explosions and fire.
1. Empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
2. Start the engine and let it run until any remaining
petrol has been used up.
3. Change the oil at the end of every season. To do
so, remove the used engine oil from a warm en-
gine and refill with fresh oil.
4. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder head. Fill
the cylinder with approx. 20 ml of oil from an oil
can. Slowly pull back the starter handle, which will
bathe the cylinder wall with oil. Screw the spark
plug back in.
5. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the
housing.
6. Be sure to clean the entire machine to protect the
paint.
7. Store the machine in a well-ventilated place.
