to the separate Engine Operating Manual.
The air cleaner is a component that removes
dirt from the intake air to prevent wear of the
cylinder liners and piston rings so that the
engine will always operate smoothly.
A contaminated air cleaner element may cause
malfunction of the engine.
Make sure that there is no damage to the
air cleaner.
