General Information
The air filter purifies dust and foreign substances included in
the air and supplies clean air into the engine. The air filter is
directly related to engine lifetime, emissions, and engine
output. Please periodically check, clean, and replace the air
filter.
Air Filter
• Air cleaner is mounted on the engine to purify the air for
combustion.
• The intervals at which the air cleaner requires servicing
depend on the specific operating conditions encoun-
tered.
• Clogged air filters may cause black smoke and reduce
power.
• A check should be made from time to time to see that the
fastening elements securing the air cleaner to the intake
manifold seal the connection tightly.
• Any ingress of unfiltered air is liable to cause a high rate
of cylinder and piston wear.
Disassembly of air filter
1. Empty the dust bucket periodically. The dust should not
exceed the half of the dust bucket capacity.
2. You can disassemble the dust bucket by removing two
clamps. Remove the dust bucket cover and empty the
dust inside.
3. Assemble the cover and dust bucket accurately with
care.
4. For easy alignment, the cover has dent and the dust
collector has a protrusion. Here is the position where a
filter is mounted horizontally, check the “TOP” mark on
the air filter canister.
