AIR CLEANER
Do not use petrol or inflammable solvents
to wash the air cleaner, in order to avoid
fires or explosions.
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
Read pages 29 and 50 carefully.
Periodically check the conditions of the air cleaner
and clean it every 4000 km.
If the vehicle is used on dusty or wet roads, the
cleaning operations should be carried out more fre-
quently.
For the cleaning, proceed as follows:
– raise the fuel tank (see "RAISING THE FUEL
TANK" - page 25);
– remove the filter case cover (1-Fig. 40), by loosen-
ing the two screws (2-Fig. 40) (other two screws
are positioned on the front part);
– remove the filtering element (3-Fig. 40) and the
grid (4-Fig. 40);
– wash the filtering element with clean, non-inflam-
mable solvents or solvents with high volatility point,
then let it dry thoroughly;
– apply a filter oil or a thick oil (SAE 80W-90) on the
whole surface, then squeeze it to eliminate the oil
in excess. It must be well impregnated, though not
dripping.
For the reassembly, repeat the same operations re-
versing the order.
