AIR FILTER
A dirty air fi lter hinders the passage of air,
reduces engine power and increases fuel
consumption. For these reasons it is essen-
tial to clean the air fi lter on a regular basis.
Follow these steps to gain access to the
air fi lter.
•Pull the cover air fi lter.
•Release fi lter fastener 1.
•Soundproof shell removal
•Pull out air fi lter 2.
•Carefully wash the fi lter with soap (or
special detergent) and water.
•Dry the fi lter.
•Wet the filter with filter oil and then
remove the excess oil to prevent it from
dripping.
WARNING
To avoid corroding the fi lter, do not clean
it in foam containing petrol or petroleum.
Never use the vehicle if the air fi lter is not
in place. The infi ltration of dust and dirt can
cause damage and considerable wear.
•If necessary clean the inside of the fi lter
box.
•Replace the fi lter taking special care to
ensure the seal of the rubber gasket.
•Attach fi lter fastener 1.
WARNING:
After each operation check that no object
is left in the fi lter box.
Clean the fi lter every time the vehicle is
used over rough ground.
