Since the air cleaner employed on this engine is a dry
type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a week under
ordinary conditions - or daily when used in a dusty
place. This will get rid of large particles of dust and
dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth if it is dirty
or wet.
3. Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.
4. 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
(2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi).
5. Replace the element every year or every 6
cleanings.

A Make sure the wing bolt for the element is tight
enough. If it is loose, dust and dirt may be sucked in,
wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring
earlier and thereby resulting in poor power output.
A Do not overservice the air cleaner element.
Overservicing may cause dirt to enter the engine
causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a
guide on when to service.
BEvacuator valve
Open the 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.
BDust indicator (optional)
