air cleaner cover F.

or
liquid detergent and water.
4. Wrap pre-cleaner V in a cloth and squeeze to
remove excess cleaning agent.
5. Saturate pre-cleaner V with new engine oil and
squeeze to remove excess oil.
Every 100 hours (more often under very dusty or dirty
conditions), check the paper cartridge Z.
– Clean by tapping gently.

– Replace when cartridge is dirty, bent or
damaged.
6. Reinstall pre-cleaner V over paper cartridge Z,
reinstall air cleaner assembly, tighten clamp X,
