Filter Element for Winter Operation
Maintenance and care of the special
filter element for winter operation are
described in the chapter on "Winter
Operation".
The carburetor has been set at the
factory to provide an optimum fuel-air
mixture under most operating
conditions.
Adjusting idle speed

runs smoothly.

Preheating the carburetor
Repositioning a shutter allows heated air
to be drawn in from around the cylinder
and mixed with cold air – this helps
prevent carburetor icing.
An arrow (1) on the shroud indicates the
setting of the shutter (2) for summer or
winter operation. Meaning of symbols:
– "Sun" = summer operation
– "Snowflake" = winter operation
