MAINTENANCE
ENGINE AIR CLEANER
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element
as shown in Figure 33.
2. Tap the paper filter element (Figure 33) several times
on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed
air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)]
through the filter element from the air cleaner case
side.
NEVER
brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt
into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is
excessively dirty.
3. Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or
nonflammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip
the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze
out the excess oil from the element before installing.

terminals.
5. Check battery for cracks or any other damage. If
white pattern appears inside the battery or paste has
accumulated at the bottom, replace the battery.
6. Measure the specific gravity of electrolyte:
• completely charged: 1.270 - 1.290
• needs charging: 1.260 or lower
• If the machine will not be in operation for a long period
of time, charge the battery sufficiently, tighten all caps
