All of the carburettor settings come preset from the factory for initial starting
and break-in, but you should have a small flat blade screwdriver handy to
make adjustments to the carburettor during the break-in process, which will
be detailed in the next section.

Remove the foam air filter element from the plastic bag and push it onto the air filter
base. Secure the top of the air filter into place, using the screw provided.

The foam air filter element comes wetted with air filter oil from the factory.
See the information below on how to clean and re-wet the foam air filter element when
it gets dirty.
❑
Slip the elbow onto the base of the air filter and secure it into place, using one nylon
cable tie; then slip the air filter assembly over the base of the carburettor and secure it into
place, using a second nylon cable tie.
To clean the air filter, remove the air filter
element and wash it thoroughly in warm
water and a small amount of liquid detergent.
After it's clean, allow it to dry, then reoil it
and install it back onto the air filter housing.
To wet the air filter element, simply squeeze
an ample amount of air filter oil or after-run
oil onto the filter element and work it through
the filter element, using your fingers. Use
enough oil to completely saturate the filter
element. The endesensi filter element should be oiled, but not so much that excess oil is dripping from it.
Under no circumstances should you operate the engine without the air filter installed on the carburettor. The air filter prevents
dust and debris from entering the engine and damaging it. If you operate your engine at any time without the air filter installed,
the engine will not be covered under warranty should it need repair.
If you will be running your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD
Nitro Buggy in dusty or wet conditions, we suggest
using a prefilter sleeve over the air filter. Wet the
main filter element, then simply slide the prefilter
sleeve over the main filter. It's not necessary, nor
desirable, to wet the prefilter sleeve. We suggest
using XTM Racing 1/8th Scale Prefilter Sleeves
(P/N 4942).

We recommend placing the cleaned air filter element in a plastic bag and then applying the air filter oil on it, which allows
you to work the oil into the element without getting excess oil on your hands.
