small quantity of motor oil (SAE
10W 30) onto cleaner element and work
thoroughly into the porous foam
material. Element must be damp with oil
but not dripping.
5.
Re-install the element assembly and
case cover.
NOTE: ______________________ __
Each time cleaner element maintenance is
performed, check the air inlet to the cleaner
case of obstructions. Check the air cleaner
joint rubber to the carburetor and manifold
fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fittings
thoroughly to avoid the possibility of un-
filtered air entering the engine.
2-8
engine with the air
cleaner element removed.
This will allow unfiltered air to enter,
causing rapid wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, operation without
the cleaner element will affect car-
buretor jetting with subsequent poor
performance and possible engine
overheating.
Front brake shoe inspection
To check, examine the wear indicator posi-
tion while depressing the brake pedal. If the
indicator reaches to the wear limit line,
replace the shoes.
Rear brake pad inspection
Check to see that the brake operates correct-
Iy. Remove the disc cover, check the brake
pads for damage and wear. If the thickness is
less than the specified value, replace the pad
as a set.
