5.4.2. Air cleaner maintenance
It is best to clean the filter cartridge(two pcs. on
four-cylinder engines) only when the mainte-
nance indicator displays the appropriate signal.
Apart from this, the cartridge should be renewed
after 500 hours of operation.

– Take off the capsule hood. chap. 2.
– Remove dirt adhering in the region of the air
cleaner housing.

– Slacken of screws „1“ only sufficiently to en-
able the complete air cleaner housing to be
lifted off.
– Cover the opening in the intake pipe so that
nor dirt or other forein bodies can enter.

– After this, open the air cleaner housing and
take out element „3“.
With 3-cyl. engines the cover „2“ is additional-
ly fixed with clamp „7“.

Spacer „5“ is attached to screw „1“ by flexible
bushing „6“, so that it cannot drop into the in-
take pipe during dismantling and assembly work.
