Air Filter Maintenance

Proper Air Filter Maintenance
Dirt is the biggest enemy of a nitro engine and proper air filter maintenance is one of most important factors that
will affect your engines longevity. We recommend cleaning the element after every run. It is always a good habit
to check the element after every run to make sure it is properly seated in the filter body and that the body is fully
seated on the carburetor. Never run the engine without the air filter.
Attention
If the air filter falls off, you must stop the engine immediately.

Cleaning the Filter Element
Remove and clean the air filter with nitro fuel when dirty. Spray fuel
through the clean side to ensure proper dirt removal. Squeeze the filter
to remove excess fuel. To re-coat the air filter with oil, place the
element in a plastic bag with several drops of air filter oil. Using your
fingers, work the oil into the element making sure it is evenly distrib-
uted.

Reinstalling the Filter Element
After properly cleaning the filter element make sure it is reinstalled correctly. Make sure there are no gaps
between the element and body. Make sure the filter is fully seated on the carburetor and secure it with a tie strap.
Never run the engine without the air filter.
