Valve Clearance - Suzuki GZ250 Marauder Service Manual

• Carefully use compressed air to clean the air cleaner
element.
CAUTION
outside of the air cleaner element. If compressed
air is applied to the inside, dirt will be forced into
the pores of the air cleaner element, restricting
air flow through the air cleaner element.
• Reinstall the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the
reverse order of removal.
• When installing the air cleaner element into the air clean-
er case, align the triangle marks on the air cleaner ele-
ment and the air cleaner case.
CAUTION
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air
cleaner element more frequently. The surest way
to accelerate engine wear is to operate the engine
without the element or to use a torn element.
Make sure that the air cleaner is in good condition
at all times. The life of the engine depends largely
on this component!
NOTE:
When cleaning the air cleaner element, remove the plug
and drain any water from the air cleaner drain hose.
