Replacing the air filter
WARNING! The exhaust system is hot. Let it
!cool before starting to replace the air filter.
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service interval).
Replace the air filter as follows:
1Open the engine cover.
2Pull up the handle on the air filter cover, unhook and turn towards the engine.
3Remove the air filter cover.
Lift out the air filter cartridge from the fan housing.
Replace the air filter cartridge, if clogged with dirt.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter.
The filters must not be oiled. They must be fitted dry.
4Carefully lift the precleaner out of the fan housing.
5Carefully clean the fan housing so that dirt does not fall down into the carburettor.
6Insert a new precleaner and air filter cartridge in the fan housing.
7Align the tabs on the cover with the slits in the housing and replace the air filter cover.
8Pull the handle outwards. Secure the handle in the air filter cover and close the cover by pressing it inwards.
