MAINTENANCE
AIR CLEANER CHECK/CLEANING
Remove the maintenance cover (page 5-2).
Disengaged the locking tab [1] by pushing it, and
remove the air cleaner cover [2].
Remove the air cleaner element [3] from the air cleaner
cover.
Clean the air cleaner element in warm soapy water [1],
rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly, or clean with a high
flash point solvent and allow to dry.
Dip the elements in clean engine oil [2], and squeeze
out all the excess oil.
• Excess oil will restrict air flow through the foam
element and may cause the engine to smoke at
startup.
• Do not twist to squeeze oil from the air cleaner
element. Twisting the element can damage it.
Install the air cleaner element in the air cleaner case.
Install the air cleaner cover.
• Align the lower alignment part of the air cleaner
cover, and lock the locking tab at the top of the air
cleaner cover.
• Be sure that there is no clearance between seal A
[1] and B [2].
Replace the cover seals if damaged.
• A loosely installed air cleaner cover can come off by
vibration during running. Operating the engine
without an air cleaner element or with a damaged air
cleaner element will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
Install the maintenance cover (page 5-2).
