MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
WHEN REQUIRED
CHECK, CLEAN AND REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
WARNING
If inspection, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out with the engine running, dirt will get into the engine and damage it.
Always stop the engine before carrying out these operations.
When using compressed air, there is danger that dirt may be blown around and cause serious injury.
Always use protective glasses, dust mask, and other protective equipment.
Checking
Whenever the red piston in dust indicator (1) appears, clean the air
cleaner element.
NOTICE
Do not clean the air cleaner element before the dust indicator becomes red.
If the element is cleaned frequently before the dust indicator becomes red,
the performance of the air cleaner is diminished and the cleaning effect is
lowered. In addition, dust sticking to the element falls into the inner
element each time the element is cleaned.
Cleaning or Replacing Outer Element
1. Open up the engine hood cover, then release clips (2) at 3
places and detach cover (3).
NOTICE
Never remove inner element (5). If it is removed, dust will enter and cause
engine trouble.
2. Remove outer element (4).
3. Clean the interior of the air cleaner body, cover (3) and evacuator valve (6).
