12-50 Simple inspection and service
• Inspection and cleaning
1. Remove dust by blowing compressed air over
every surface of the air cleaner element from its
end fitted with the gasket .
CAUTION
• Dust can damage your health. Wear a dust
mask to avoid inhaling dust while cleaning
the air cleaner element. Also, wear thick
gloves while removing and installing the
cover.
• Keep the air pressure under 685 kPa (100
psi, 7 kgf/cm
2
) to prevent the element from
being damaged.
• Do not strike the element or hit it against
another object.
• If the element is contaminated with oily soot
or dust, replace it regardless of the sched-
uled replacement time.
2. Put a light on the gasket side of the air cleaner
element to check that there are no holes that
allow light to leak in the element. Also check the
gasket for cracks or other damage.
3. Clean the inside of the case and cover with a
clean cloth. Clean the sealing sections with par-
ticular care.
