Replacing the suction head
The felt Þ lter  (15) of the suction head can become clogged. 
It is recommended to replace the suction head once every 
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel ß ow to the 
carburetor.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out through 
the tank Þ ller neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to 
form a hook.
Cleaning the cylinder area
Remove cover.
Remove the fan housing.
CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection 
when cleaning the Þ lter with compressed air!
The entire area (14) can now be brushed clean or cleaned with 
compressed air.
A bottle brush can come in handy for cleaning out the cylinder 
ribs.
