The new filter housing 4228 140 2850 must be used
as a replacement for all HS 45 machines –
irrespective of the carburetor version. The
replacement part includes the filter and prefilter as
well as the new replacement filter cover
4228 141 0502. Since there are no setting symbols
on this filter cover, it can be used as a universal
replacement.
The modified choke shutter is made from orange-
colored plastic so that it can be easily distinguished
from the previous choke shutter (black).
