INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGENERATING BMC AIR FILTERS

The regeneration of a BMC filter, a procedure we recommend 
performing approximately every 20-25,000 kilometers, aims to 
remove impurities from the filtering surface so that it can be 
used for the entire lifespan of the vehicle in which it is installed.

WASHING THE BMC AIR FILTER

1) Remove the filter from the airbox with the engine cold, 
first gear engaged, and keys removed from the ignition.

2) Once the filter is removed, gently tap the polyurethane 
structure against a rigid surface to remove larger impurities 
(grass, gravel, insects, etc.), taking care not to damage the 
filtering element.

3) Clean any impurities from the airbox.

4) Place the filter in a container and pour the detergent 
(WADET500) over the filtering element, using approximately half 
of the bottle.

5) Let the detergent act for 20/30 minutes.

6) Rinse the filter thoroughly and very gently on both sides 
using water until the filtering element looks clean (it is 
recommended to use a common garden hose equipped with a spray 
gun with jet adjustment).

7) The cotton that makes up the filtering element will not be 
perfectly white again, but it is enough to check for the absence 
of impurities or dirty oil residue against the light.

8) If there are still impurities or oil in the filter after washing,
it is necessary to repeat the operation.

9) Let the filter air dry outdoors without exposing it to direct 
sunlight: the filter is dry when it no longer releases any water 
or moisture.

10) Dispose of the dirty water used to wash the filter by taking 
it to a suitable landfill.

RE-OILING THE BMC AIR FILTER USING THE BOTTLE 
(WAFLU250)

1) Make a "V" shaped cut at the tip of the bottle and insert the 
tip into the bottle itself.

2) Place the tip on the first pleat of the filtering element: 
proceed to re-oil only one side of the filter, applying slight 
pressure to facilitate oil flow (continuous action). (Recommended 
to avoid oil deposits).

3) Once the operation is complete, wait until the oil is 
completely absorbed; you can check this by verifying the 
uniformity of the red color on both sides of the filtering element.

4) Wipe the area with a clean cotton cloth to remove any excess 
oil that may remain on the polyurethane and on the support mesh.

RE-OILING THE BMC AIR FILTER USING SPRAY OIL (WAFLU200)

1) Apply the sprayed oil evenly to both sides of the filtering 
element.


WARNINGS

When re-oiling the filter, it is necessary to first wash the filter
following the procedure indicated above; also ensure that there are
no impurities or dirty oil residue on the filtering element.

For information on the quantities of oil to use, refer to the 
specific section on the BMC website: the filtering element may 
release too much oil and damage the flow sensor; too little oil 
may not guarantee adequate protection against impurities.
