Automobile Parts User Manual

Always remove contaminated elements carefully, to
ensure that dirt cannot enter the carburettor.
Position the air cleaner correctly, so that it does not
foul the cylinder-head or obstruct the needle-valve.

AIR CLEANER ELEMENTS

Lower Filter
Element
Upper Filter
Element
Insert beneath flanges.
Replacement elements
are already impregnated
with filter oil. As this oil is
very sticky, take cere,
when handling elements
to prevent dust or dirt
from adhering to them. If
your fingers become
contaminated, wash them with soap and water.
During storage, the oil may have become unevenly
dispersed through the elements. This will be indicated
if the blue colour of the element material appears
patchy. In this case, place the elements in a small
plastic bag and gently rub them between finger and
thumb to redistribute the oil.
REPLACEMENT OF ELEMENTS
It is advisable to replace the upper filter element with
a new one after not more than one hour of running
time. It is not necessary to discard the lower element
as frequently, but be sure to change it when it
becomes soiled.

NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER
( 12CV-X ONLY)
REMINDER!
◆
◆
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil
starter. If you do so, the very strong
spring inside will be suddenly ejected.
This can be very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more than
45cm(18"). Do not abruptly release the
operating handle. Allow the cord to rewind
smoothly while still holding the handle.
Pull the operating handle straight out
when starting the engine, so that the cord
does not rub against the vehicle body or
engine.
This will help prevent the cord from being
damaged by abrasion or engine heat.
Try to avoid spilling fuel over the starter
unit and its cord. Some fuels have a
detrimental effect on these parts.
