Pre-cleaner - Clean, Inspect and Replace

Never service the pre-cleaner while the engine is
running. Servicing the pre-cleaner while the engine
is in operation can cause particles of foreign matter
to enter the engine and result in rapid wear of parts,
leading to a shorter service life of the engine.
The pre-cleaner is equipped to the silencer of the tur-
bocharger to prevent foreign items such as dust from
sucking and keep the engine clean for optimum per-
formance. Be sure to clean the pre-cleaner as
described below.
1. Remove the pre-cleaner from the silencer, and
hand-wash the pre-cleaner with a mild detergent.
2. Rinse the pre-cleaner with fresh water.
3. After drying thoroughly, inspect the pre-cleaner for
defect. If any defect are found, replace the pre-
cleaner with a new one.
4. After cleaning, inspecting or changing the pre-
cleaner, reinstall it to the silencer.
