Air Cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.

Unclamp the side clamps and remove the
element from the air cleaner case. If it
appears to be dirty, replace it with a new
one.
Clamp the side clamps securely.
Gear Oil

When adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade as shown

transmission gear oil.

Gear Oil Level Check
52LM021
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug (1).
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little from the plug hole.
Tightening torque for oil filler and level

following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.
