Operating Instructions
Cleaning the Air Filter
During break-in period
A factory new machine should not be run
at high revs (full throttle off load) for the
first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.

After a long period of full-throttle
operation, allow engine to run for a while
at idle speed so that the heat in the
engine can be dissipated by flow of
cooling air. This protects engine-
mounted components (ignition,
carburetor) from thermal overload.
Dirty air filters reduce engine power
increase fuel consumption and make
starting more difficult.

Remove the felt filter element (3).
After finishing work
Do not wash the felt element. Fit a
new one. As a temporary measure,
clean it by knocking it out on the
palm of your hand or blowing it out
with compressed air.
Wait for engine to cool down. Drain the
fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
place. Check tightness of nuts and
screws (not adjusting screws) at regular
intervals and retighten as necessary.
