(D)
to the full close side, and keep the carburetor off
from dust or dirt.
-
Loosen the fixing bolt
(G)
.
- Remove the air cleaner cover
(A)
by pulling its bottom side.
- Remove the elements
(B) (F)
and tap them to remove dirt.
- If the elements are heavily contaminated:
Remove the elements, immerse them in warm water or in water-diluted
neutral detergent, and dry them completely. Do not squeeze or rub them
when washing.
-
Before attaching the elements, be sure to dry them completely. Insufficient
drying of the elements may lead to difficult startup.
- Wipe out oil adhering around the air cleaner cover and the breather part
(E)
with waste cloth.
- Fit the element (sponge)
(B)
into the element (felt)
(F)
.
Fit the elements into the plate

Immediately attach the cleaner cover and tighten it with fixing bolts. (In
remounting, first place the upper claw, and then the lower claw.)
NOTICE:
- Clean the elements several times a day, if excessive dust adheres to it.
Dirty elements reduce engine power and make starting engine difficult.
- Remove oil on the elements. If operation continues with the elements
remaining not cleared of oil, oil in the air cleaner may fall outside, resulting
in contamination of the environment.
- Do not put the elements on the ground or dirty place. Otherwise they pick
up dirt or debris and it may damage the engine.
- Never use fuel for cleaning the elements. Fuel may damage them.
