MAINTENANCE
Stop switch
use a muffler if the spark arrestor mesh is missing or
defective.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire
if directed against dry and combustible material.
A muffler equipped with a catalytic converter significantly
reduces the amount of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen
oxides (NO) and aldehydes in the exhaust fumes. Carbon
monoxide (CO), which is poisonous and odourless, is not
however reduced! Consequently, never work in an
enclosed or badly ventilated area. Good air circulation
should always prevail when working in snowy hollows,
ravines or in confined conditions.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Starter
WARNING! When the recoil spring is
wound up in the starter housing it is
under tension and can, if handled
carelessly, pop out and cause personal
injury.
!
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
Care must be exercised when replacing
the return spring or the starter cord.
Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done
with a wire brush. A blocked mesh will cause the engine
to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
•
Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
Note! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a
machine with a muffler that is in poor condition. Never
