
Inspection and Cleaning of the Air
Filter Element
Open the engine bonnet and remove the
dust-cover. Take out only outer element,
clean the element, case interior and
reassemble. During reassembly, take care
to install the dust-cover so that its TOP mark
(arrow) faces up-wards. Do not remove the
inner element.
IMPORTANT :
 Should the machine be used in extremely
dusty areas, the air filter element must be
inspected and cleaned more frequently
than in the specified maintenance
periods.
 The air filter has a dry element, keep free
from oil.

Do not run the engine without the air
filter.

Air Filter Maintenance
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:

Wear eye protection.

Cleaning with compressed air
Pressure of compressed air must be under
30 psi (205 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm
2
) and the cartridge
should be blown clean from the inside to
the outside until the dust deposits are
remarkably reduced.
IMPORTANT:

If the air suction is still inadequate, or the
colour of the exhaust gases is abnormal
even after the cleaning, the air filter
element must be replaced.
