Element 2, 3.

TO SERVICE PRE-CLEANER

1. Clean foam filter with non-flammable cleaner.
If filter is made of paper, tap filter on an object knocking
dust from filter or replace with new filter.
2. Dry filter after cleaning, then dip it into engine oil speci-
fied by the manufacture, and ring excess oil out of filter.

SPARK PLUG

a. Remove the spark plug and inspect it each time you change
the oil. (Use a sparkplug wrench). The electrodes should be kept
clean and free of carbon. The presence of carbon or excess oil
will greatly deter proper engine performance. If possible, check
the spark plug gap (area between electrodes) using a wire feeler
gauge. This specification is 0.025" ~ 0.030".
b. Before installing spark plug coat threads lightly with graphite
grease if possible, to ensure easy removal next time the spark
plug needs inspection.
c. It is advisable to replace the spark plug at least once a year to
insure easy starting and good engine performance.

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

1. The front wheel should be "toed-in" FRON 1/8" to 1/4". To check
alignment measure distance from A to B to the centerline (CL) of the tires with the wheels pointed
straight ahead. For the proper toe-in
dimension, A should be 1/8" ~ 1/4"
greater than dimension B.
2. Loosen the lock nuts on both
sides of Front Tie Rods. To Make
Dimension B smaller, screw the rod
left. If B needs to be longer, turn the
rod to the right. Tighten the jam nut
tightly against the rod end. Recheck
the distance and repeat the above
steps until the dimensions are per
paragraph 1 above.
