Tightening Torques
DG and P (Plastoform) screws are used in polymer and lightmetal components. These screws form a permanent
thread when they are installed for the first time. They can be removed and installed as often as necessary without
impairing the strength of the screwed assembly, providing the specified tightening torque is observed.
For this reason it is essential to use a torque wrench.

Sooted:
Velvet-like, dull black coating of
soot.
Cause: Mixture too rich, lack
of air (dirty air filter,
choke shutter partly
closed);
Electrode gap too wide;
wrong spark plug
(heat range too high).
Electrode Gap
: As the electrode gap widens as a
result of normal erosion, check it
with a feeler gauge at regular
intervals. It should be 0.5 mm
(0.02").

Function
The airstream from the fan is
diverted via a nozzle into the air
permeable catcher bag.
The air flowing at high speed past
the nozzle intake opening (arrow)
creates a vacuum at that point
which is used to pick up leaves and
grass and coney them to the
catcher bag. A changeover valve
enables the airstream to be diverted
so that the unit can be operated as
a blower. The catcher bag is
removed for blower operation.
The valve lever on the vacuum
attachment is used to select either
the "VACUUM" or "BLOWER"
position.
