Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems weak, produces black smoke or
runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. For this
reason, it is important to clean and replace the air
filter regularly (see the maintenance schedule for the
proper service interval).
Allow the exhaust system to cool before
performing service. Risk for burns.
Cleaning/replacement of the air filter is carried out as
follows:
1. Undo the wing nut (1) and lift off the cyclone
filter with the air filter cowling (2).
2. Remove the foam rubber pre­filter and clean
using a mild detergent.
Squeeze it dry with a clean cloth.
Soak it with new engine oil. Wind the filter in
an absorbent cloth and squeeze out excess oil.
3. Remove the wing nut in the air filter and remove
the paper filter. Tap the paper filter against a
fixed surface to remove dust. If the paper filter is
still dirty or damaged, it MUST be replaced.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO NOT use compressed air over 2 bar/30 PSI
to clean the paper filter.
DO NOT wash the paper filter.
DO NOT oil the paper filter.
4. Refit the air filter as follows:
Mount the paper filter in the air filter housing
and tighten the wing nut.
5. Refit the pre­filter on the paper filter.
6. Refit the cyclone filter with the air filter cowling.
