8-33 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper cleaning of the spark arrester.
Hot exhaust system
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could injure the eyes.
Could cause burns.
Could cause carbon monoxide
poisoning, possibly leading to death.
Could start a fire.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
When cleaning the spark arrester:
Always let the exhaust system cool prior
to touching exhaust components.
Do not start the engine when cleaning the
exhaust system.
Valve Clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper fuel-air supply or
engine noise. To prevent this, the valve
clearance must be adjusted regularly. This
adjustment however, should be left to a
professional service technician.
Front Brake Pad Check
Each brake pad is provided with wear
indicator grooves, which allow you to check
the brake pad wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the brake
pad wear, check the wear indicator grooves.
If a brake pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator grooves have almost
disappeared, have a service center replace
the brake pads as a set.
