4.12 Checking the air filter,
cleaning if necessary
!
Caution
Do not use gasoline or hot fluids to clean the
filter cartridge.
Dry air filters with damaged filter element or
seal ring must be replaced in any case. It is
therefore recommended to keep at least one
filter cartridge in stock.
Replace the air filter cartridge after five-times
cleaning, but at the latest after 1/2 year.
Each cleaning interval should be marked on
the filter cartridge.
In case of sooty deposit on the filter cartridge
cleaning is useless. Use a new filter cartridge.
Incorrectly handled filter cartridges may be-
come ineffective because of damage (e.g.
cracks) and lead to engine damage.
In case of wet or oily contamination replace the
filter cartridge.
Do not run the engine without air filter.
