Air filter
If the engine is operated without an air filter or a damaged air filter, dirt can get into the engine,
causing rapid wear.
• Press the cover tabs down and remove the cover.
• Remove the filter from the air filter base.
• Check the filter and foam elements and replace them if damaged.
• Clean the filter by tapping it several times on a hard surface to remove dirt or blow
compressed air through the air filter from the inside. Never try to brush off the dirt; brushing
will push the dirt into the fibres.
• Wipe the dirt off the inside of the air filter housing and cover it with a damp cloth. Ensure no
dirt gets into the air duct leading to the carburettor.
• Replace the filter and the cover.
