MAINTENANCE
22 – English
Two-piece shaft
(GC2225C)
The drive shaft end in the lower shaft should be lubricated
with grease every 30 hours. There is a risk that the drive
shaft ends (splined coupling) on models with two-piece
shafts will seize if they are not lubricated regularly.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunctions
• Starting problems
• Loss of engine power
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Close the choke valve by moving the choke control up.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Clean also the inside of the
filter cover by using air or a brush. Ensure that the filter is
dry before refitting it.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced. Damaged, very dirty, or fuel-
soaked air filter must always be replaced.
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before using the machine you
should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters
full with grease. Use JONSERED special grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to
be changed except if repairs are carried out.
