Periodic Maintenance
Cleaning Air filter
First remove the 7 bolts that hold the two halves of the air box together shown in figure 8.1. With the bolts removed
the top section of the air box can be lifted away, exposing the air filter inside
Next, loosen the jubilee clip fastened around the neck of the filter, shown in figure 8.2. This releases the grip on the
filter allowing it to be removed. With the filter removed turn it inside out and use an airline blower to clean the filter
from the inside out, this ensures no debris is lodged in the filter potentially blocking the air flow.
With the filter cleaned the removal process can be reversed to re-install the filter.
Draining The Catch Tank
It is important to drain the catch tank periodically to prevent excess oil from blowing through the breather filter. To
drain the catch tank the drain plug needs to be removed. The plug is located on the bottom of the catch tank as
shown in figure 8.3. Place a suitable container underneath the tank, then using a 6mm hex key remove the plug
allowing the oil to drain out.
Once the catch tank has been drained replace the plug and safely dispose of the oil.
