Simple inspection and service
The air cleaner element does not need to be
cleaned before the end of each replacement inter-
val. However, clean it whenever the following regu-
lar check shows that cleaning is necessary.
Check the dust indicator once a week. If a red sig-
nal appears in the indicator’s window , the air
cleaner element must be cleaned immediately
regardless of the scheduled cleaning interval. After
cleaning, press the reset button to clear the red
signal.
3.1 Removal and installation
1. Undo clamps and remove cover . Pull out
straight outer element to remove.
2. Install the element by reversing the order of
removal. Fasten the clamps with makes on
the case and cover aligned.
CAUTION
Install the element correctly.
If the packing is broken or the clamps are loose,
the engine will suck in dust or other foreign mat-
ter and premature piston and cylinder liner wear
could result.
3.2 Check
1. Remove the cover and check the case for
dust accumulated inside.
2. If much dust has accumulated inside the case,
remove the element and wipe clean the inside
of the case with a cloth.
3. If there is very little dust, reinstall the cover with-
out doing anything.
CAUTION
When dust has accumulated inside the case,
simply remove the dust with a cloth; you do not
need to clean the element.
3.3 Cleaning
If the air cleaner element becomes clogged before
the end of the element replacement interval, a red
signal will appear in the dust indicator’s window. In
this case, clean the element immediately.
