Do not use petrol or inflammable
solvents to wash the air cleaner,
in order to avoid fires or explo-
sions.
Carefully read p. 35 (MAINTENANCE).
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
Check the conditions of the air cleaner and
clean it monthly or every 4000 km, depend-
ing on the conditions in which the vehicle is
used.
If the vehicle is used on dusty or wet roads,
the cleaning operations and any replace-
ment should be carried out more frequent-
ly.
To clean the filtering element it is neces-
sary to remove the whole filter casing from
the vehicle.
