MAINTENANCE
Cooling systemWinter use
Running problems can occur when using the machine in the
cold and snowy conditions caused by:
Y Too low engine temperature.
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.Y Icing of the air Ţlter and carburettor.
The cooling system consists of:Special measures are therefore often required:
1 Air intake on the starter.Y Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.
2 Air guide plate.
Y Preheat the intake air to the carburettor by using the heat

The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for

preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the carburettor
space preventing icing of the air Ţlter, etc.

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.

�Air Injection� centrifugal cleaning
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.
These reduce the �ow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburettor
space.

cause severe engine damage.
