THE AIR FILTER
Air Filter Cleaning Instructions
1.
Remove the air filter from the carburetor bore by pulling the
entire filter assembly firmly to the side to release it.
Do not
pull straight up.
2.
Disassemble the filter. Pull the rubber air filter neck out of
the filter body. With the base removed, the foam element is
visible in the bottom of the filter body. Pull out the foam
element.
3.
Clean the filter parts by thoroughly washing all three pieces of the filter assembly in hot
soapy water (dishwashing detergent works well). Repeat twice.
4.
Thoroughly dry the parts with a clean towel or compressed air. Remember to wear your
safety glasses when working with compressed air.
5.
Oil the foam element with foam filter oil. Use the supplied Traxxas filter oil (part# 5263) or a
high-quality, special-purpose foam filter oil like what is used for off-road motorcycle and
ATV engines.This type of filter oil is available at motorcycle pro shops. Apply 30 drops of the
Traxxas filter oil evenly to the top, bottom and sides of the filter element (30 total drops
divided among the 3 surfaces). Squeeze the filter element repeatedly to help spread the oil
throughout. The filter element should be evenly colored by the oil. Even color indicates that
the oil is distributed evenly.
Do not
squeeze out excess oil.
Note: Do not use the air filter oil for anything other than the air filter. It is not meant
to be a lubricant.
6.
Reassemble the filter and install it on the engine, making sure the rubber filter neck fits
securely on the carburetor with no gaps or air leaks.
Clean your air filter after every
hour of runtime to avoid
engine damage, even if the
filter looks clean.
If you use compressed air to
dry your air filter assembly,
wear safety glasses and avoid
directing compressed air
toward your skin.
If foam filter oil is not
available, clean 30 or 40
weight motor oil can be
substituted, but is not
preferred. Never run the
engine without a properly
oiled filter!
