How to clean the filter :
For your information:
Also read the manual of the engine manufacturer.
• The front filter may be cleansed with a little petrol.
Caution:
Petrol is highly flammable; avoid open fire or hot objects in the direct vicinity.
• Using compressed air, thoroughly blow dry the filter to eliminate all petrol and dust.
• With a paint brush dipped into motor oil slightly moisturise the outside of the sponge filter.
Course dust particles will now stick to the filter more easily.
• The filter cartridge can simply be tapped clean.
• The filter may be cleaned with compressed air, provided that the jet is kept at some distance
from the filter and that the air is blown from the inside out.
Caution:
Releasing a stream of compressed air too closely to the filter element may cause
micro-perforations that will render the filtering properties completely useless.
• Using compressed air, completely clean the plastic hood and the filter socket from dust and
dirt.
• After cleaning, remount the filter elements in their original position.
11.3.2 Changing the air filter
This action is almost identical to cleaning the air filter (see § cleaning the air filter). The only
difference is that in this case, the element is replaced.
New air filters suitable for your machine are available from your Eliet dealer or an authorised
service centre of the relevant engine brand.
When mounting the filter element, make sure that it sits snugly against the packing ring to avoid
false suction.
