AIR CLEANER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the FI system, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty
areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (see page 6).
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air
filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's
Limited Warranty.
Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter element.
Clean or replace dirty filter element. Always replace damaged
filter element.

4. Clean the filter element if it is to be reused.
Tap the filter element several times on a hard surface to
remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 207 kPa
2
(2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi)] through the filter element from the
clean side that faces the engine. Never try to brush off dirt;
brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper filter
element if it is excessively dirty.
5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner body and cover,
using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the
air chamber that leads on the FI system.
6. Reinstall the paper filter element.
7. Reinstall the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner case by
aligning the clips of the air cleaner cover with the grooves of
the air cleaner case.
