INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
8. Cleaning and Replacing the Air Cleaner
The air cleaner removes dust contained in
supplied air to protect the cylinder and piston
rin
g from wear and keep the engine in good
condition for a long time.
The air cleaner is composed of outer and inner
elements.
Clean the outer element every 100 hours and
replace it after cleaning 6 times. If the
operation is carried out in a place
excessive dust, clean the air element at a
shorter interval. Replace the element about
once a year even though the specified interval
has not been expired.
Replace the inner element once in every 3
times of replacement of the outer element or
every 1000 hours, whichever comes earlier.
Cleaning the Air Cleaner Element
(1) Open the bonnet.
(2)
Remove the clip, take out the dust cup,
blow the air from the inside of the element
or shake off the dust. At this time, be
careful not to damage the fins.
9. Inspecting the battery
The battery of this vehicle has no vent plug and
does not need be replenished with water. (The
battery is sealed type without the necessity to
replenish water in the overall life.)
When performing inspections or maintenance
services, check the battery condition with the
hydrometer.
If the hydrometer color is “transparent”,
electrolyte has reduced and the battery has
come to the end of its life. Replace the battery in
such a case.
Color which can be seen on the hydrometer
indicates the battery condition.

<Cautions when seeing the hydrometer>
● See the hydrometer when the vehicle is placed
horizontally.
● See the hydrometer directly above it.
● If the color on the hydrometer is “transparent”
or “pale green”, tap the meter to check for air
bubbles and see again.
