Exhaust Pipe Nuts And Muffler Bolts - Suzuki Ozark Service Manual

2-4 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

* 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!
• Remove the drain cap 1 of the air cleaner box to allow any
water to drain out.
