It is very important for the engine's life expectancy to clean the air filter
regularly.
To clean the air filter, remove screws

and remove the air filter

including the filter holder

from the filter box.
Remove the air filter from the filter holder and wash thoroughly in special
cleaning fluid. Motorex offers environmentally-friendly products for
professional oil filter maintenance (Motorex Bio Dirt R Motorex
Liquid Bio Power). Press out the water from the air filter but do not wring
and allow the filter to dry. Lubricate the dry air filter thoroughly with
highgrade filter oil, rubbing to coat the entire filter surface.
Clean the filter box and cover and check the carburetor connection boot for
damage.
Mount the air filter on the filter holder, position in the filter box (make sure
to center) and fix with the retaining clip. Check whether the air filter is
positioned correctly and mount the filter box cover.
