Air filter maintenance

Please inspect and clean the air filter on a regular basis. If

the filter has not been cleaned for a longer period, this will

have influence on the engines power take-off and the

exhaustion.

1. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.

2. Carefully remove the paper filter and check it. Brush

it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, it must be

changed. Take care that no dirt gets into the intake

of the engine.

3. Wash the black foam element on the right side in

warm soapy water.

4. Press the water out of the foam element and let it

dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to

moisten it lightly with oil. Carefully squeeze out any

surplus oil. Remount the element.

5. Check that all parts are fitted correctly and the cover

closed as shown in the picture.
