6.15 FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter is incorporated in the fuel tap under the tank.
As dirt builds up in the filter, it gradually impedes the flow of fuel to the
carburettor. For this reason the filter must be cleaned regularly.
SERVICING
1- Drain the fuel out of the tank into a clean petrol can.
2- Unscrew the two fixing screws and remove the fuel tap from the tank.
3- Wash the filter in water with neutral soap. Leave the filter dry, in the
sun if possible.
4- Replace the fuel tap on the tank, making sure that the seal is
correctly seated.
DANGER. Petrol is extremely inflammable and petrol vapour can
explode easily. Only drain the tank in a well ventilated area and with the
engine switched off. Refrain from smoking and avoid all naked
flames or sparks while draining fuel or refuelling.
6.16 REAR SWING ARM
The swing arm is placed on the frame with lubricating grease rollers
bearings. Periodically disassemble, clean and generously lubricate it
