❑ Remove the foam air lter element from the plastic bag and push it onto the air lter
base. Secure the top of the air lter into place, using the screw provided.
IMPORTANT The foam air lter element comes wetted with air lter oil from the factory.
See the information below on how to clean and re-wet the foam air lter element when
it gets dirty.
❑ Slip the elbow onto the base of the air lter and secure it into place, using one nylon
cable tie; then slip the air lter assembly over the base of the carburettor and secure it into
place, using a second nylon cable tie.
To clean the air lter, remove the air lter
element and wash it thoroughly in warm
water and a small amount of liquid detergent.
After it's clean, allow it to dry, then reoil it
and install it back onto the air lter housing.
To wet the air lter element, simply squeeze
an ample amount of air lter oil or after-run
oil onto the lter element and work it through
the lter element, using your ngers. Use
enough oil to completely saturate the lter
element. The endesensi lter element should be oiled, but not so much that excess oil is dripping from it.
the engine will not be covered under warranty should it need repair.
If you will be running your X-Terminator 2 RTR 4WD
Nitro Buggy in dusty or wet conditions, we suggest
using a prelter sleeve over the air lter. Wet the
main lter element, then simply slide the prelter
sleeve over the main lter. It's not necessary, nor
desirable, to wet the prelter sleeve. We suggest
using XTM Racing 1/8th Scale Prelter Sleeves
(P/N 149412).
X-TERMINATOR 2 RTR 4WD NITRO BUGGY UPGRADE TIP
PRO TIP We recommend placing the cleaned air lter element in a plastic bag and then applying the air lter oil on it, which allows
you to work the oil into the element without getting excess oil on your hands.
