Cleaning the air cleaner
Remove the upper air cleaner cover on the
main body. Loosen and remove the 2 Phillips
screws that hold the cover on the air cleaner
assembly.
Primary element (clean every 80 to 100 hours)
If the primary element is dirty, wash it with
gasoline or lamp kerosene. Then, dip it in
engine oil SAE10W-30 and wring it out. (Wring
the element so that 25 to 30 cc of engine oil
remains in the element.) (fig.36)
Secondary element (clean every 100 to 150
hours)
When the secondary element (under the
primary element) becomes dirty, wash it with
neutral detergent solution and dry it well. Then
reuse it. (fig.37,38)
Be sure to check the fuel line for damaged
or looseness.
Replace the fuel line every 2 years, even if it
does not show any abnormality.
Cleaning the machine body
If you want to clean the machine body using
high-pressure steam, do not spray water
directly into the air cleaner, carburetor, muffler,
or top of the fuel tank. Otherwise engine
problems may occur.
