AIR FILTER
MUFFLER SCREEN
1. Unscrew the screw (1) and take off the left
exterior cover (2).
2. Remove the air filter cover and foam ele-
ment (3).
3. Wash the foam element in solvent and dry
it.
4. Add oil to the foam element and squeeze
out excess oil. The foam element should
be wet but not dripping, to avoid damage.
5. Insert the foam element into the air filter
case.
TIP:
Be sure the foam element sealing sur-
face matches the air filter so there is no air
leak. The engine should never run without
the air filter; excessive poisonous gas will
lead to piston and cylinder wear.
6. Install the air filter case cover in its original
position.
