2-4 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.
• Immerse the element in motor oil, and then squeeze out the
excess oil leaving the element slightly wet.
* Inspect the air cleaner element for tears. A torn ele-
ment must be replaced.
* If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air
cleaner element more frequently. The surest way to
accelerate engine wear is to operate the engine with-
out the element or with torn element. Make sure that
the air cleaner element is in good condition at all
times. Life of the engine depends largely on this
component!
• Reinstall the cleaned air cleaner element in the reverse order
of removal.
Be sure to position the element snugly and correctly,
so that no incoming air will by-pass it. Remember, the
rapid wear of piston rings and the cylinder bore is
often caused by a defective or poorly fitted element.
• Remove the drain cap 3 of the air cleaner box to allow any
water to drain out.
