AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner filter assembly has become
clogged up with dust, intake resistance will result in
the reduction of output power and therefore the
increase of fuel consumption. The checks and cleaning
to the filter assembly should be conducted with the
following procedures for every 3000km.
CAUTION:
Make sure about poles when connecting electric
wires onto the terminal on the battery. Red wires
must be connected to positive (+) pole and black
wires to negative (-) pole. Incorrect connection
can lead to damage to the charging system and
the battery.
NOTE:
If driving under dusty condition, the air cleaner
filter assembly must be cleaned or replaced more
frequently.
