7.3 MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter can cause the carburettor to malfunction. Clean the filter on a regular basis and more
frequently if a lot of dust forms while the machine is working.
PRECAUTION: Never use the motor without the air filter, since this will cause a lot of wear and tear
to the motor.

Never clean the filter elements of the motor with fuels or solvents with a low flash point,

since these could cause an explosion or fire.
Unscrew the wing nut and remove the cover from the air filter. Remove the elements,
check them and replace if there are any holes or cracks in them.
Foam element: wash with a soapy solution and rinse thoroughly in clean water.
Alternatively, it can also be washed with non-flammable solvents. Leave it to dry out.
Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
Paper element: tap several times against a hard surface to get rid of the excess dirt, or
else apply compressed air from the inside, spraying outwards.
