CLEANING OF FUEL FILTER 
WARNING: INFLAMMABLES STRICTLY PROHIBITED 
Interval of Cleaning and Inspection: Monthly (every 50 operating hours) 
 
Suction head in the fuel tank 
–  The fuel filler (1) of the suction head is used to filler the fuel required by the 
carburetor. 
–  A periodical visual inspection of the fuel filter is to be conducted.    For that 
purpose open the tank cap, use a wire hook and pull out the suction head 
through the tank opening.    Filters found to have hardened, been polluted or 
clogged up are to be replaced. 
–  Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed being 
exceeded.    It is therefore important to replace the fuel filter at least quarterly 
to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.
