E-2 Air filter - replacement of
primary cartridge
The efficiency and life of the engine depend
greatly on the quality of air taken in. A dirty or
damaged air filter can seriously affect the
correct working of the engine and increase the
possibility of a fault.
Replace the air filters strictly according to the
schedule indicated in this Manual. Do not try to
wash dirty filters.
If the machine is expected to be used in
environments with a lot of dust or high
concentrations of contaminating or polluting
agents in the air, halve the time interval
between one filter replacement and the next.
Replacing the primary cartridge
1 To access the filter housing, open the
engine compartment
2 Release the catches and remove the
cover on the front of the filter.
3 Grip the filter element and remove it from
its seat.
4 Wipe thoroughly inside the filter housing
with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of
aggressive solvents or products as these
can damage the safety filter or the filter
housing.
5 Install a new filter element. Make sure the
filter element is inserted properly in its
seat. If installation is difficult, grease the
rubber gasket slightly with silicone
grease.
