How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery before accessing the exhaust filter.
Steps:
- Check filter presence: Open the exhaust filter cover and confirm a filter is installed.
- Inspect filter condition: Look for tears, holes, or deformation. Replace if damaged.
- Fit correctly: Ensure the filter is seated flat and the cover is fully closed and latched.
If dust still escapes, the filter housing or seals may be cracked; replace the filter housing or main body section as needed.
