PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
AIR CLEANER
Clean every 3 000 km (6 months).
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be
increased, with a resultant decrease in engine output and an
increase in fuel consumption. Check and clean the air cleaner
elements in the following manner.

Fill a washing pan of a proper size with a nonflammable clean-
ing solvent. Immerse the air cleaner elements in the cleaning
solvent and wash them.
Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both hands
to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the ele-
ments or they will develop tears.
Immerse the elements in motor oil, and squeeze out the ex-
cess oil. The elements should be wet but not dripping.
Properly install the air cleaner elements into the air cleaner
case.
A
Nonflammable cleaning solvent
B
Motor oil SAE #30 or SAE 10W-40
Inspect the air cleaner element for tears. A torn ele-
ment must be replaced.
When installing the air cleaner elements, install the
fine mesh air cleaner element first, and then install
the large mesh air cleaner element.
Be sure to position the air cleaner element snugly
and correctly, so that no incoming air will bypass it.
Remember, rapid wear of the piston rings and cylin-
der bore is often caused by a defective or poorly fit-
ted air cleaner element.
