Air Filter
Clean the air filter insert at 3-month in-
tervals but not later than 25 operating
hours (earlier in very dusty conditions).
To do this, proceed as follows:
l Remove the wing nut and the filter
cover.
l Take the filter assembly apart.
l Wash the foamed pre-filter in non-
foaming and warm lye. Do not use de-
tergents containing Naphtha (petrol,
etc.). Rinse the filter in running water
from inside until the water is clear.
l Allow the foamed pre-filter to dry in
the open air before replacing it.
l Slightly soak the foamed pre-filter in
engine oil, then squeeze out the oil
(wrap it in a rag and press it) so that
any excessive oil will not contaminate
the paper element.
l Tap the paper element against a
smooth surface or blow compressed air
against the inside. Never clean the fil-
ter with a brush because this would
press the dirt into the fibres. Do not oil
the filter element.
l Replace the filter element at 100-
hour intervals or if it is extremely dirty.
l Reinstall the filter assembly as illus-
trated. Attach the filter cover with the
wing nut.
