Page 19: Maintenance And Tune-Up Procedures
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES This section describes the servicing procedures for each item of the Periodic Maintenance requirements. AIR CLEANER Clean every 3 months. If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be increased, with a resultant decrease in power output and an increase in fuel consumption.
Page 20 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE • Fill a wash pan a proper size with a non-flammable cleaning solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning solvent and wash it. • Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the element or it tear.

Page 44: Compression Pressure Check
2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK The compression pressure reading of a cylinder is a good indicator of its internal condition. The decision to overhaul the cylinder is often based on the results of a compression test. Periodic mainte- nance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each maintenance service. Compression pressure: Standard: 1 500 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm², 213 psi) Limit: 1 300 kPa (13.0 kgf/cm², 185 psi)
Page 45: Initial Engagement And Clutch Lock-Up Inspection
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-29 INITIAL ENGAGEMENT AND CLUTCH LOCK-UP INSPECTION The LT-Z90 is equipped with a centrifugal type automatic clutch. To insure proper performance and longevity of the clutch assemblies it is essential that the clutches engage smoothly and gradually. Before checking the initial engagement and clutch lock-up two inspection checks must be performed to thoroughly check the operation of the drive train.
