18 PERIODIC SERVICE
AIR CLEANER
As the element of the air cleaner employed on this engine
is a dry type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary
conditions-or daily when used in a dusty place-to get
rid of large particles of dust and dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth or the like
if it is dirty or wet.
3. Avoid touching the element except when cleaning.
4. When dry dust adheres to the element, blow
compressed air from the inside turning the element.
Pressure of compressed air must be under 205kPa
(2.1 kgf/cm', 30psi).
5. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak the
element in detergent for 30 minutes, then wash it
several times In water, rinse with clean water and dry
it naturally.
6. After element is fully dried, inspect inside of the
element with a light and check if it is damaged or not.
(referring to the instructions on the label attached to
the element.)
7.
Replace the element every year or every six
cleanings.

IMPORTANT:
• Make sure the wing bolt for the element is tight
enough. If it is loose, dust and dirt may be sucked,
wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring earlier
and thereby resulting in poor power output.
•For the air cleaner with a dust cup
(optional)
Remove and clean out the dust cup before it becomes half
full with dust; usually once a week, or even every day if the
working surroundings are dusty.
Install the air cleaner dust cup with "TOP" indicated on the
rear of the cup in the upside. (However, it may be installed
in either direction when the cover is placed at the lower
part.)

• If the dust cup is mounted incorrectly, dust or dirt does
not collect in the cup, and direct attachments of the
dust to the element will cause its lifetime to shorten to
a great extent.
BATTERY
A
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte
contact your body or clothing.
• Wear eye protection and rubber gloves, since
the diluted sulfuric acid solution burns skin
and eats holes in clothing. Should this occur,
immediately wash it off with running water and
get medical attention.
Mishandling of the battery shortens the service life and
adds to maintenance costs. Obtain the maximum
performance and the longest life of the battery by handling
properly and with care.
Engine starting will be more difficult, if the battery charge
is low. Be careful to recharge it at an early occasion before
it is too late.
