CHECkING & CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Air filter is located under left side plastic cowling
. Cowling will need to be
removed.
Take the air filter out and check to see if it is dirty or torn.
Tap the air filter clean. If necessary use compressed air to gently clean.
CAUTION
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and
dirt, resulting in a shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing
the vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent
it from cracking. Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or
organic volatile oil to avoid its aging, which will result in reducing the
effect of the air filter oil to catch particles before they enter the engine.
Replace the filter element with a new one if it is broken or cracked.
