CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protec-

Disengage the cover clasp (
1
) with the universal wrench and
take off the cover (
2
).
Push up the combination switch (

) up and out.
IMPORTANT:
Cover the intake opening with a clean cloth to
prevent dirt particles from getting into the carburetor.
Choosing the right filter:
The fleece filter is for use in dry or
dusty conditions. The nylon filter ( available as accessory) is for
use in damp conditions.
Pry apart the top and bottom of the air filter as shown in Figure.
Cleaning the fleece filter:
Carefully tap out dust or carefully
blow out dust from the inside with compressed air. Do not brush
the fleece, as this will force dirt particles into the fabric. If the
filter is very dirty, it can be washed in lukewarm water with
regular dishwashing detergent. Note that the fleece filter does
not need to be cleaned until there is a noticeable loss of power.
If cleaning the filter does not bring an improvement in
performance, it is time to replace it.
Cleaning the nylon filter:
Use a soft brush or blow out dirt from
the inside with compressed air. If the filter is very dirty, it can be
washed in lukewarm water with regular dishwashing deter-
gent. Clean frequently (several times a day) when working in
very dusty or dirty conditions. Full engine power is possible
only with a clean air filter!
Let the air filter
dry completely
.
Put the top and bottom sections back together.
Before assembling the air filter, check the choke flap for any dirt
particles. If there are any, remove them with a brush.
CAUTION:
If the air filter becomes damaged, replace im-
mediately! Pieces of cloth or large dirt particles can de-
stroy the engine!
Insert the air filter (
