AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

Clean Every 3 000 km
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake
resistance will be increased with a resultant
decrease in power output and an increase in fuel
consumption.
Check and clean the element in the following
manner.
Remove the left frame cover.
Remove the screws and take out the air cleaner
element assembly.
Separate the polyurethane foam element from
the element frame.
NOTE:
When installing the air cleaner case cover,
place the "UP" mark upward.
Fill a washing pan of a proper size with
nonflammable cleaning solvent. Immerse the
element in the cleaning solvent and wash it clean.
Squeeze the cleaning solvent out of the washed
element by pressing it between the palms of
both hands.
Immerse the element in motor oil, and squeeze
the oil out of the element leaving it slightly wet
with oil.
NOTE:
Do not twist or wring the element because it
will tear or the individual cells of the element
will be damaged.
CAUTION:
Inspect the element carefully for rips, torn
seams, etc. If any damage is noted, replace
the element.
