Always remove contaminated elements carefully, to
ensure that dirt cannot enter the carburettor.

AIR CLEANER TYPE 102S

INSTALLATION OF AIR CLEANER

Carefully clean the carburettor,
removing any old adhesive or
sealant that may have been
previously used on the outside
of the air intake.

Press the air cleaner body firmly
over the carburettor air intake. Make sure that the
outer rim of the air intake engages the internal
annular groove in the air cleaner: failure to do so
may result in the air cleaner falling off.

It has a single filter element and is intended primarily
for circuit racing, where conditions are less damaging
than the very dusty, loose surfaces of off-road operation
for which the double-element Type 101 and 102 Air
Cleaners are recommended.
The lower height of the Super Air-Cleaner 102S also
facilitates easier installation in cars where available
space may be restricted.

Position the air cleaner correctly, so that it does not
foul the cylinder-head or obstruct the needle-valve.

AIR CLEANER ELEMENTS

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 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 color 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
so frequently, but be sure to change it when it
becomes soiled.
