ENGINE AIR FILTER CHECK/CLEANING
CAUTION!
Running the engine without air lters, or with
damaged lters, can cause a faster engine
wearing.
1. Drive the machine on a level ground and engage the
parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition key (61) to “0”.
3. Open the engine compartment hood (18) with the handle
(41) and fasten it with the support rod (53).
4. Lift and disassemble the right side bulkhead (45).
5. Remove the wing nut (A, Fig. 21) and remove the cover
(B).
6. Remove the wing nut (C) and disassemble the lter
element.
7. Separate the foam lter (D) from the paper lter (E).
8. Check both lters and replace them if necessary. Replace
the paper lter (E) when required (see the scheduled
maintenance table).
9. To use again the lters, clean them as shown below:
• Paper lter (E): Hit the lter several times against a
hard surface to remove the dust, or blow compressed
air (no more than 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm)) from inside the
lter. Do not use a brush, otherwise the bre will be
damaged.
• Foam lter (D): Clean with warm water and soap, rinse
and let it dry completely, or clean with a non-ammable
solvent and let it dry. Soak the lter in clean engine oil,
then squeeze it to remove the surplus oil.
10. Clean with a wet cloth the base (F) and the cover (B) of the
air lter. Pay attention to avoid that dirt enters the air duct
(G) to the carburettor.
11. Assemble the foam lter (D) on the paper lter (E), then
assemble the lter element. Ensure that the gasket (H) is
properly placed under the lter element. Screw down the
lter element wing nut (C).
12. Install the cover (B) and screw down the wing nut (A).
