Remove the seat (page 2-3).
INSPECTION:
Air cleaner duct can be removed to do the visual inspection
of air cleaner element.
Clean the surrounding area of air filter with high pressure
air.
REPLACEMENT:
If found dirty, damaged or according to maintenance
schedule (page 3-3) replace air cleaner element by
removing the air cleaner cover screws (4 nos.).
Remove the air cleaner element and packing.
Check the packing are in good condition, and replace it
if necessary.
Do not clean with solvent to remove dust and also do not
use forced air on it. The viscous oil will be lost and filter
becomes dry. As the base filter paper is coarse, it cannot
block fine dust when it becomes dry.
Replace the air cleaner if it is excessively dirty, torn or
damage.
Do not place filter horizontally on any surface as dust can
stick to the filter due to oil present. If necessary place
vertically. Install immediately after inspection.
Install the packing to the groove of the air cleaner element,
then install them by aligning its tab with the hole of the air
cleaner element holder.
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
