### Removing and Refitting the Element:

1 | Take out the two bolts securing the air filter front plate.
2 | On Fastback only, remove the accessory cover to provide clearance
3 | Lever the front filter plate outwards at the bottom and clear of the perforated band and element. Models with the power socket attached to the front plate need not have the socket disconnected.
4 | As shown in Fig. E2, remove the gauze band together with the element.
5 | The element should be cleaned as described below or replaced. Reassembly is a reversal of the dismanting procedure.

### Cleaning the Air Filter Element:

Whilst stressing that the pleated, resin impregnated paper element is replaceable and should therefore be changed for a new one and when it is badly clogged, the life of the element can be prolonged by superficial cleaning. After removal, taking care not to deform the element, tap it on a bench to dislodge as much foreign matter as possible, then blow clear with compressed air.
