Thoroughly wash the foam filter in special cleaning fluid and allow it to dry
well. Only press out the filter, do not wring it out under any circumstances.
Oil the dry foam filter with a high-grade filter oil. Also clean the air filter
box. Check carburetor collar for damage and that it is filled correctly.
Insert the air filter in the opening and fasten it with the filter holder. Then
mount the seat.
Adjusting the throttle cable *
There must always be a 3-5 mm (0.1-0.2 in) play in the throttle cable. To
check this, move back the protective cover

on the throttle grip. You must
be able to lift the outer covering of the cable 3-5 mm from the adjusting
screw

, until resistance is felt.
To adjust, loosen the counter nut
6
and turn the adjusting screw accor-
dingly. Finally tighten counter nut and slide the protective cover back on.
