Checking the fuel pump’s air filter

• Remove the screws and open the pump, no hoses need
be removed.
• Replace the pump on the console.
Replacing the engine’s air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly
this may be because the air filter is clogged. For this reason,
it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see
“Maintenance schedule” on page 21 for the proper service
interval).
Replacement of the air filter is carried out as follows:
1 Open the engine cover.
2 Loosen the two fasteners holding the filter cover and
remove it.
3 Remove the filter cartridge from the filter housing.
4 Clean the filter by knocking the filter against a hard
surface and blow with compressed air from the inside.
Never brush the dirt away. Change air filter if it is very dirty.
P524 has an extra filter that is fitted inside the filter
cartridge. Clean the filter by knocking it with care against
a hard surface. Do not use compressed air for this filter.
5 Replace the filter cartridge. Make sure the filter cartridge
is correctly fitted over the air intake in the filter housing.
6 Replace the air filter cover, ensure that the particle
collector is facing downwards.
!
WARNING!
The exhaust system is hot. Let it cool before
starting to replace the air filter.
IMPORTANT!
Never run the engine when the air filter has been removed.
Filters should not be oiled. They must be fitted dry.
