MAINTENANCE
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 19-20 for correct service interval).
Clean/ replace the air filter as follows:
1. Release the rubber strap under the seat and
raise the engine hood.
5. Refit the air filter as follows:
Insert the paper filter in the air filter housing and
tighten the wing nut.
6. Fit the pre-filter over the rectangular section of
the paper filter.
7. Refit the cover on the air filter housing. Bring up
the cover from below and make sure the pre-
filter does not drop out of place. Secure with the
two clips.
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the
paper filter.
Do not wash the paper filter.
Do not oil the paper filter.
2. Fold out the two snap-locks and lift off the cover
on the air filter housing.
WARNING!
Let the exhaust system cool down
before servicing it, otherwise you
could burn yourself.
4. Unscrew the wing nut from the air filter and lift
out the paper filter. Tap the filter against a hard
surface to shake off the dust. If the paper filter
is still dirty it should be replaced.
