2. Cleaning air cleaner primary
element
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and primary element.
2. Clean the primary element:
• When dry dust adheres to the element, blow
compressed air from the inside, turning the
element. Pressure of compressed air must be
under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30 psi).
• When carbon or oil adheres to the element,
soak the element in detergent for 15 minutes,
then wash it several times in water, rinse with
clean water and dry it naturally. After the
element has fully dried, inspect inside the
element with a light and check for damage.
3. Replace the air cleaner primary element:
Once every 1000 hours or yearly, whichever comes
first.
NOTE :
• Check to see if the evacuator valve is
blocked with dust.

IMPORTANT :
• The air cleaner uses a dry element; never
apply oil.
• Do not run the engine with the filter element
removed.
• Be sure to refit the cover with the arrow
(on the rear of the cover) upright. If the
cover is improperly fitted, the evacuator
valve will not function and dust will adhere
to the element.
• Do not touch the secondary element except
in cases where replacing is required.
(See Replacing air cleaner primary element
and secondary element on page 126.)
