To clean the air filter
CAUTION:
An air filter that is
damaged, very dirty, or soaked with
fuel must always be replaced.
Clean the air filter from dirt and dust regularly.
This prevents carburetor malfunctions, starting
problems, loss of engine power, wear to
engine parts and more fuel consumption than
usual.
If you use an air filter for a long time, it cannot
be fully cleaned. Replace the air filter with a
new one at regular intervals. Refer to
Maintenance schedule on page 15 .
1. Move the choke lever up to close the choke
valve.
2. Remove the air filter cover and the air
filters.
3. Clean the air filters with warm soap water.
4. Replace the air filters if they cannot be fully
cleaned. Always replace a damaged air
filter.
5. Clean the inner surface of the air filter
cover. Use compressed air or a brush.
6. Do a check of the rubber seal on the air
filter. Replace the air filter if the rubber seal
is damaged.
7. Make sure that the air filter is dry before
you install it.
