Care and Maintenance
Before carrying out any service or maintenance work ensure that
all safety precautions have been taken, for example:
The Engine
See manufacturers handbook supplied with this vehicle.
Always follow instructions given in engine manufacturers
handbook for servicing, and particularly when starting or
stopping the engine.
Engine Air Cleaner Servicing
Daily
z Squeeze the dust ejector vent nozzle to remove dust build
up in the air cleaner case.
Servicing
z To service air cleaner first clean its surrounding area and
then loosen clamp holding the sediment cup to air cleaner.
z Remove the cup and clean it out. Remove the wing nut
holding the filter element and extract the filter.
z Renew, or clean the element by carefully using compressed
air to blow dust out of the filter. Reassemble by reversing
the above procedures.
Maximum engine protection against dust is possible only if the
air cleaner is serviced at regular intervals. No hard and fast rules
apply to the regularity of servicing because operating conditions
vary so much. The only way to determine if an air cleaner
requires cleaning or replacing is to physically check it

Cleaning Air Filter
On the underside of the air cleaner casing is the dust ejector vent
nozzle. Squeeze thi rubber valve to remove dust build up in the
air cleaner case. Failure to do this will mean the air filter
element will clog very quickly.
The air cleaner elements should be cleaned by blowing gently
with an airline from the inside, or tapping gently against a firm
object.
