Replacing 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 schedule on
page 17 for correct service interval).
The air filter is replaced as follows:
1. Dismantle the engine hood as described on
page 18.
2. Fold out the two snap-locks and lift off the cover
on the air filter housing.
3. Release and remove the wing-nut in the centre
of the air filter and lift off the paper filter with pre-
filter.
4. Pull off the foam plastic pre-filter from the paper
filter and wash clean in mild detergent.
Squeeze it dry in a clean cloth.
Drench it with new engine oil. Wrap the filter in
an absorbent cloth and squeeze out excess oil.
If the paper filter is heavily soiled it should be
replaced.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the
paper filter.
5. Fit the air filter as follows:
Push the pre-filter over the paper filter.
Fit the paper filter with pre-filter in the air filter
housing and tighten the wing-nut in the centre.
Replace the cover over the air filter housing and
clamp the two snap-locks tight.
