MAINTENANCE

Replacing the air filter

If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly this may be because air filter is clogged. If run with a soiled air filter, carbon can build-up on the spark plugs and lead to malfunctioning.

It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see ”Maintenance \ Maintenance Schedule” for correct service interval).

Clean/ replace the air filter as follows:

1.Raise the engine hood.

2.Prise out the two clips and lift the cover off the air filter housing.

WARNING!

Let the exhaust system cool down before servicing it, otherwise you could burn yourself.

3. Pull off the foam plastic pre-filter from the paper filter and wash clean in mild detergent.

Squeeze it dry in a clean cloth.

4.Remove the wing nut from the air filter and lift off the paper filter. Tap the paper filter against a

hard surface to shake off the dust.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.

Do not wash the paper filter.

Do not oil the paper filter.

5. Refit the air filter as follows:

Fit the air filter in the air filter housing and tighten the wing nut.

6.Press the pre-filter over the rectangular section of the paper filter.

7. Refit the cover over the air filter housing. Bring the cover up from underneath, making sure that the pre-filter does not slip out of place. Secure with the two clips.
