13 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before cleaning, inspecting or repairing your unit, you MUST
make sure that the engine has stopped and allowed to cool. You MUST
disconnect the spark plug HT lead cap to prevent any accidental starting.
CAUTION! ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and
the spark plug HT cap removed. Whilst carrying out maintenance you MUST
wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Suggested PPE
Sturdy footwear, work gloves, long trousers and hearing protection.
NOTE: Spare parts – If a part needs replacement, you MUST only use parts
that meet the manufacturer’s part number specifications. Replacement
parts that DO NOT meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor
operation of the machine and will VOID the warranty. Major servicing
including installation or replacement parts, should be made by a qualified
service technician.

13.1 Air filter (Fig. 8)
CAUTION! The engine MUST NOT be run without an air filter otherwise
piston and/or cylinder damage can occur. This type of damage will NOT be
covered under warranty.
Maintaining the air filter is very important. If dirt is allowed to get in to the
engine through improperly installed, serviced or inadequate filter elements,
it can damage and wear out the engine. ALWAYS keep the filter element
clean.
▪ Press down on the latch tab on the top of the air filter housing and open the air filter cover.
