Maintenance
Maintenance, replacement or repair of emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any repair
establishment or individual; however, warranty repairs
must be performed by a dealer or service center autho
rized by Maruyama Manufacturing Company, Inc. The
use of parts that are not equivalent in performance and
durability to authorized parts may impair the effective
ness of the emission control system and may have a
bearing on the outcome of a warranty claim.
Maintenance on today's low-emission engines is even
more critical for longest life and best performance. par
ticularly critical are air and fuel filters, spark plug heat
range, cooling air intake area and proper gaps of coil
and plug.

Fuel Filter
Maintenance Interval
The fuel filter should be replaced after every 100 hours
of operation.
Fuel filters needing more frequent replacement may
indicate debris in fuel tank.
Fuel Filter Replacement
The fuel filter is attached to the end of the fuel pick-up
hose inside the fuel tank.
1. Make sure the fuel tank is empty.
2.
Remove the fuel cap.
3. Using a wire hook, gently pull the fuel filter out
through the fuel filler opening. Use caution not to
"fishhook" the fuel tube. Replace immediately if
punctured!
4.
Grasp the fuel hose next to the fuel filter fitting
and remove the filter, but do not release the hose.
5. While still holding on to the fuel hose, attach the
new fuel filter.
6.
Drop the new fuel filter back into the fuel tank.
7. Make sure that the fuel filter is not stuck in a cor
ner of the tank, and that the fuel hose is not dou
bled over (kinked) before refueling.
