To remove and replace filter element
1. Detach the rubber pipe from the underside of the bottom plate. Remove the centre nut and washer which retains the air cleaner assembly to the carburettor and take off the air cleaner. The air cleaner MUST be removed from the carburettor as an assembly to avoid the possibility of any dust entering the carburettor intake as the air cleaner is dismantled.
2. With the assembly on a bench, lift off the top plate (1) taking care that its joint ring (2) is not damaged, and lift off filter element (3).
3. Before fitting a new filter element, or refitting the clean original filter element, both the top (1) and
|
bottom plates (5) should be wiped clean of all dust. Take care that the joint ring (6) between the bottom plate and the carburettor is in good con-dition.
4. Place one of the joint rings (4) on the bottom plate, then the filter element (3), the second joint ring (2), and finally the top plate (1).
5. With the assembly clamped between the fingers, refit the air cleaner assembly to the carburettor, securing with the centre nut and washer. Re-attach the rubber pipe to the underside of the bottom plate.
NOTE: The filter element MUST NOT be cleaned by washing, nor does it require oiling.
