contaminated, wash them with soap and water.
During storage, the oil may have become unevenly
dispersed through the elements. This will be indicated

In this case, place the elements in a small plastic bag
and gently rub them between finger and thumb to
redistribute the oil.
REPLACEMENT OF ELEMENTS
It is advisable to replace the upper filter element with
a new one after no more than one hour of running
time. It is not necessary to discard the lower element
as frequently, but be sure to change it when it
becomes soiled.

AIR CLEANER TYPE 102S
Upper Filter
It has a single filter element and is intended primarily
Element
for circuit racing, where conditions are less damaging
than the very dusty, loose surfaces of off-road operation
for which the double-element Type 101 and 102 Air
Cleaners are recommended.
The lower height of the Super Air-Cleaner 102S also
facilitates easier installation in cars where available
space may be restricted.
INSTALLATION OF AIR CLEANER
Carefully clean the carburetor,
removing any old adhesive or
sealant that may have been
previously used on the outside
of the air intake.
Press the air cleaner body firmly
over the carburetor air intake. Make sure that the
outer rim of the air intake engages the internal
annular groove in the air cleaner: failure to do so
may result in the air cleaner falling off.

NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER

REMINDER!
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil starter.
◆
If you do so, the very strong spring inside will be
suddenly ejected. This can be very dangerous.
◆ Do not extend the starter cord more than
45cm(18"). Do not abruptly release the operating
handle. Allow the cord to rewind smoothly while
still holding the handle.
Pull the operating handle straight out when
◆
starting the engine, so that the cord does not
rub against the vehicle body or engine.
This will help prevent the cord from being
◆
damaged by abrasion or engine heat.
Insert beneath flange
Try to avoid spilling fuel over the starter unit and
◆
its cord. Some fuels have a detrimental effect on
these parts.
The starter prevents the engine from being ro-
tated in the wrong direction.The unit will be
damaged if you attempt to force the flywheel in
the opposite direction (i.e. clockwise when
viewed from the crankshaft end).
