Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems weak, produces black smoke or
runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged.
For this reason, it is important to clean and replace
the air filter regularly (see the maintenance
schedule for the proper service interval).
Cleaning/replacement of the air filter is carried out
as follows:
1. Undo the wing nut and lift off the air filter
cowling.
2. Remove the foam rubber pre-filter and clean
using a mild detergent.
Squeeze it dry with a clean cloth.
Soak it with new engine oil. Wind the filter in an
absorbent cloth and squeeze out excess oil.
MAINTENANCE
4. Refit the air filter as follows:
Mount the paper filter in the air filter housing
and tighten the wing nut.
5. Replace the pre-filter on the paper filter.
6. Replace the cowling over the air filter housing.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air over 2 bar/30 PSI
to clean the air filter.
Do not wash the paper filter.
Do not oil the paper filter.
WARNING!
Allow the exhaust system to cool
before performing service. Risk for
burns.
3. Remove the wing nut in the air filter and remove
the paper filter. Tap the paper filter against a
fixed surface to remove dust. If the paper filter
is still dirty or damaged, it must be replaced.
