FRAME DUST FILTER CLEANING AND INTEGRITY CHECK
1. Drive the machine on a level ground and activate the
parking brake using the pedal and the lever (26 and
19, Fig. B).
2. Turn the ignition switch (18, Fig. B) to “0” position.
3. Lift the hood (13, Fig. C) and secure it with the rod
(16, Fig. V).
4. Disconnect the battery connector (4, Fig. V).
Remove the filter cover (2, Fig. M) by disengaging it
from the retainers (1).
5. Disconnect the electric connector (1, Fig. N) from the
filter-shaker.
6. Remove the filter-shaker support frame handwheels
(2, Fig. N).
7. Remove the filter-shaker support frame (3, Fig. N).
8. Pull out the dust filter (4, Fig. N) upwards.
9. In an appropriate outdoor area, clean the filter
shaking it on a level and clean surface, tapping the
side (1, Fig. O), opposite the wire gauze (2).
Complete the cleaning by using compressed air (3) at
max. 6 bars, blowing only from the side protected by
the wire gauze (2), at a minimum distance of 30 cm.
According to the filter type, observe the following
cautions:
– Paper filter (standard): do not use water or
detergents to clean it; the filter can be damaged;
– Polyester filter (optional): To clean it, see the
above-mentioned instructions. If necessary, for a
better cleaning, it is allowed to wash the filter with
water and non-lathering detergents. This provides
better quality cleaning but reduces the life of the
filter, which will have to be replaced more
frequently. The use of inadequate detergents can
damage the filter.
Check the filter body for tears.
10. Clean the filter compartment rubber seal (1, Fig. P)
along its perimeter and check its integrity. If
necessary, replace it.
11. Install in the reverse order of removal (steps from 8 to
1).

12. Remove the internal pocket separator (7, Fig. AC).
13. Clean the polyester fiber surface (8, Fig. AC) from the
dirty side, using an external vacuum cleaner,
spreading it out completely or cleaning pocket by
pocket. At the same time, clean both the surfaces of
the pocket separator (7, Fig. AC) removing anything
deposited on them. Check the filtering surface for
tears. In case of tears, replace it. It is also possible to
use compressed air (max. 6 bars), blowing the air
from the clean side towards the dirty side.
NOTE
Besides the standard paper filter, optional
polyester filters are also available. The
following procedure is applicable to each type
of filter.
NOTE
When reinstalling the filter, the wire gauze (2,
Fig. O) must be facing upward.
NOTE
The polyester closed pocket filters are normally
kept clean by activating the electric
filter-shaker supplied with the machine.
If necessary, they can be cleaned using the
procedure indicated below.
When the filtration surfaces are no longer
suitable, the filter must be replaced.
WARNING!
Do not wash the filter with water. The
polyester fibber can shrink and become
unusable.
