Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the 
machine.

Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor 
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should 
clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a 
wire brush. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat 
and may lead to serious damage.

Note! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the mesh 
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.

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.

•

Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the 
crankcase and remove the starter.

•

Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch 
in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting 
the pulley rotate slowly backwards.

•

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 
centre 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.
