NOTICE
• Do not use the outer element with damaged pleats or a damaged gasket or seal.
• If the outer element and O-ring are cleaned and used again after they are used for more than 1 year,
it will cause problems. Do not use them again.
11. Check the seal of the cleaned or new outer element (6) for adhesion of dusts and oil.
If there is any adhesion, wipe it off.

• Be sure to install the air cleaner element facing in the
correct direction. Install so that the bottom of the air
cleaner element (a) (face where no hole is drilled)
comes to cover (5) end.
If it is installed in wrong direction, it may cause break-
age of the air cleaner element or serious damage to
the engine.

in straight, and cover (5) is installed by force with
hook (4), there is a danger that hook (4) and air cleaner
body will be damaged, so be careful when installing.
12. Push the outer element (6) straight into the air cleaner body (7) with your hand.
Hold the outer element (6), and rock it lightly up and down and to the right and left while pushing it in, the
element can be inserted easily.

er body (7).
