Make sure hooking clip is tight
enough. If it is loose, dust and
dirt may be sucked into the
engine, causing excessive wear
or premature engine failure and
need for engine repair.
Cleaning secondary air filter element
Since the air cleaner employed on this engine is a dry
type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a week under
ordinary conditions - or daily when used in severe
or dusty conditions. This will get rid of large
particles of dust and dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth if it is
dirty or wet.
3. Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.
4. When dry dust adheres to the element, blow
compressed air from the inside turning the
element. Pressure of compressed air must be
under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30 psi).
5. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak
the element in detergent for 15 minutes, then wash
it several times in water, rinse with clean water and
dry it naturally.
6. After the element is fully dried, inspect the inside of
the element with a light, and check if it is damaged
or not. (referring to the instructions on the label
attached to the element.)
7. Replace the primary element every year or every
6 cleanings. If the primary element is heavily
stained, replace it sooner. At this time, also replace
the secondary element.
8. The secondary element should be removed only if
it is to be replaced.
9. To protect the engine, do not remove the
secondary element in normal servicing of the
primary element.
