EVACUATOR VALVE
Open the evacuator valve once a week
under ordinary conditions or daily when
used in dusty conditions to get rid of
large particles of dust and dirt.
The air cleaner uses a dry ele-
ment, never apply oil.
Do not run the engine with filter
element removed.
Be sure to refit the cap with the
arrow
(on the rear of cover)
upright. If the cap is improperly
fitted, evacuator valve will not
function and dust will adhere to
the element.
CHECKING FUEL LINES/
FILTER
IMPORTANT
S43O625A
Although checking the fuel pipe con-
nection is recommended every 100
service hours, it should be done every
6 months if operation does not exceed
100 hours in 6 months.
1. If the hose clamps are loose, apply
a slight coat of lubricant onto the
threads and securely tighten it.
2. The fuel pipe is made of rubber and
ages regardless of period of service.
Change the fuel pipe together with
the hose clamps every two years and
securely tighten.
3. If the fuel pipes and hose clamps
are found damaged or deteriorated
earlier than two years, then change
them immediately.
4. After the fuel pipe and hose clamps
have been changed, bleed the fuel
system.
When changing fuel pipes, be
careful not to allow dust or dirt
to enter the fuel system. Con-
taminations in the fuel system
could damage the fuel system
or injuction pump.
IMPORTANT

and aging. Failure to perform
