* Inspect the air cleaner element for tears. A torn ele-
ment must be replaced.
* If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air
cleaner element more frequently. The surest way to
accelerate engine wear is to operate the engine with-
out the element or with torn element. Make sure that
the air cleaner element is in good condition at all
times. Life of the engine depends largely on this
component!
Tighten initially at 1 month and every 3 months there-
after.
