MAINTENANCE
Starter
Muffler
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.
!
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
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
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
•
Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you
should clean the screen at least once a week.This is best
done with a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the
engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
•
Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm (12 inches) and hook it
into the notch in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil
spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
screen 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
use a muffler if the spark arrestor screen is missing
or defective.
•
Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove
the pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the
pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto the
pulley. Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so that the
end of the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the screw in
the center of the pulley. Insert the starter cord through
the hole in the starter housing and the starter handle.
Make a secure knot in the end of the starter cord.
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 odorless, 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.
