MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the air filter is an important operation for the protection, care and efficiency of the engine: an intact and clean filter, in fact, will always ensure the correct quantity of clean air to the air-box.

Another aspect not to be overlooked regarding the maintenance of the air filter is its duration: the cotton filter, in addition to the time required for disassembly and reassembly, necessarily requires the vehicle to be stopped due to the washing, drying and oiling procedure of the filter element, all of which are not necessary operations with a polyester filter. In fact, the procedure for cleaning the Sprint Filter is extremely easy and quick: just use a jet of air in the opposite direction to the direction of the suction to remove most of the retained debris. There is no need to wash the filter, so the drying phase is not necessary, allowing immediate reassembly.

Only in case of heavy dirt due to heavy use of the car or encrustations resulting, for example, from the exhaust of recovered oil fumes, can a common detergent be used: soap, shampoo… this rapid degreasing before blowing guarantees the total restoration of the filter’s performance.
