MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES

mentioned in the Periodic Maintenance chart.
AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be
increased, with a resultant decrease in power output and an
increase in fuel consumption. Check and clean the air cleaner
element in the following manner.
• Remove the air cleaner case cover

NOTE:
Be careful not to drop the O-ring into the air cleaner box that is
attached to the air cleaner case cover.

• Fill a wash pan of a proper size with a non-flammable clean-
ing solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning
solvent and wash it.
• Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both
hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the
element or it will tear.
• Immerse the element in motor oil, and then squeeze out the
excess oil leaving the element slightly wet.
