Air filter maintenance is important for engine performance, since a clogged air filter can cause poor engine starting, power failure, and premature engine
wear.
To perform the maintenance of the filter elements the following items must be followed:
1. Loosen the wing nut and remove the air filter cover, also removing the filter elements;
2. Check the condition of the filter elements and, if necessary, replace them;
3. If only cleaning is required, blow a jet of compressed dry air through the air filter cartridge from the inside, moving up and down until all dust is removed;
4. Reassemble the filter elements and close the cover.
