ENGINE AIR FILTER _______________________________________________________
Check the service indicator each day. If the red band
become visible in the window, replace the filter element.
Do not remove the element to inspect or clean. Removal of
the filter that is not necessary increases the risk of dust and
other particles to enter the engine.
When service is needed, first clean the outside of the filter
housing, then remove the old element carefully.
Clean the inside of the filter housing. Make sure dust and
other particles do not get into the engine inlet hose.
Inspect the new element. Do not use a damaged element and never use an incorrect element.
Assemble the filter element. Make sure the element seat correctly. Press the button to set the service indicator.
Assemble the cap to the filter housing. Make sure the cap seals around the filter housing. The dust valve on the cap
must be at the bottom of the filter. Fasten the cap with the two clips.
Check the air filter hoses for wear or damage. Make sure the hose clamps are tight and hold the hoses in position.
CAUTION
The engine oil can damage your skin. Use gloves when
you use engine oil. If engine oil touches your skin, clean
the area immediately.
Discard used engine oil as shown in local regulations.
