- Install the New Air Filter Assembly: Insert the combined new air filter and prefilter assembly into the air filter housing. Ensure it seats correctly and forms a tight seal.

5. Manutenzione
Regular inspection and maintenance of your air filter are essential for engine health.
- Frequenza di ispezione: Inspect the air filter and prefilter every 25 hours of operation or more frequently in dusty conditions.
- Cleaning the Prefilter: The foam prefilter can often be cleaned. Remove it from the main filter, wash it in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not oil the prefilter unless specifically instructed by your equipment's manual.
- Cleaning the Main Air Filter: The main paper air filter should generally not be washed. Lightly tap it against a hard surface to dislodge loose dirt. Do not use compressed air, as this can damage the filter media.
- Sostituzione: Replace the main air filter if it appears heavily soiled, damaged, or if cleaning the prefilter does not restore adequate airflow. A clogged air filter can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and premature engine wear.
