reduces engine power and increases fuel
consumption. For these reasons it is essen-
tial to clean the air filter on a regular ba-
sis.

air filter.

Lift and rotate battery 1 (see figure).

Pull out air filter 3 .
•
Carefully wash the filter with soap (or
special detergent) and water.

Wet the filter with filter oil and then re-
move the excess oil to prevent it from drip-
ping.
WARNING
To avoid corroding the filter, do not clean
it in foam containing petrol or petroleum.
Never use the vehicle if the air filter is not
in place. The infiltration of dust and dirt
can cause damage and considerable
wear.
