9. Reinstall the foam cover to the air filter ele-
ment.
10. Reinstall the air filter assembly and parts re-
moved for access.
NOTE:
_
The air filter element should be cleaned every 20 ~
40 hours. It should be cleaned more often if the
machine is operated in extremely dusty areas.
Each time filter element maintenance is per-
formed, check the air inlet to the filter case for ob-
structions. Check the air cleaner rubber joint to the
carburetor and manifold fittings for an airtight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine.
_
CAUTION:
_
Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the filter element will affect carburetor jet-
ting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating.
