4-2. AIR CLEANER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In the air cleaner case, a dry-type air cleaner element is provided for dirt and dust from air
being drawn into the engine for combustion.
A damaged element must be replaced with a new one, since it allows dust particles to enter the engine if
used as it is. Such dust particles could cause wear to the engine inner parts and this further results in
decreased output.
Also, the element must be cleaned periodically. Dusty and dirty element causes decrease in output and
increase in fuel consumption. The dusty element even after cleaning should be replaced with a new one.
