MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP
PROCEDURES
This section describes the servicing procedures for each item
mentioned in the Periodic Maintenance chart.

AIR CLEANER

• Remove the screws and air cleaner case cover.
• Remove the air cleaner element.
• Carefully use air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE:
Always apply air pressure on the engine side of the air cleaner
element. If air pressure is applied improperly, dirt will be forced
into the pores of the air cleaner element thus restricting air flow
through the air cleaner element.
• Reinstall the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the reverse
order of removal.
NOTE:
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air cleaner element
more frequently. Make sure that the air cleaner is in good condi-
tion at all times. The life of the engine depends largely on this
component.
• Remove the drain plugs from the air cleaner box to allow any
water to drain out.
