Cleaning Air Cleaner Element
1. Remove the air cleaner cover (4) and primary element (2).
2. Clean the primary element if:
• When dry dust adheres to the element, blow compressed air
from the inside turning the element. Pressure of
compressed air must be under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30
psi).
• When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the
element in detergent for 15 minutes then wash it several
times in water, rinse with clean water and dry it naturally.
After element is fully dried, inspect inside of the element
with a light and check if it is damaged or not.
3. Replace the primary element (2) :
Once a year or after every six times of cleaning, whichever
comes first.
• Check to see if the evacuator valve is blocked with dust.
• The air cleaner uses a dry element, never apply oil.
• Do not run the engine with filter element removed.
• Be sure to refit the dust cup with the arrow ↑ (on the rear of
cover) upright. If the dust cup is improperly fitted,
evacuator valve will not function and dust will adhere to the
element.
• Do not touch the secondary element except in cases where
replacing is required.
Evacuator Valve
Open evacuator valve once a week under ordinary conditions or
daily when used in a dusty place to get rid of large particles of dust
and dirt.
