PLUG WRENCH and HANDLE
•
Never use gasoline
or low flash point
solvents
for
cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion
could
result.
1)
Unsnap the air cleaner cover springs and remove the air
cleaner
cover.
2)
Remove the air cleaner
element.
Carefully
check the element
for holes
or tears
and
replace if
damaged.
Clean the
element.
3) Clean in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry thor-
oughly. Or clean in nonflammable
solvent and allow to
dry. Dip the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out
all excess
oil.
4) Wipe dirt from the inside
of the air cleaner case and
cover,
using a moist
rag.
Be careful to prevent dirt from
entering the air duct that leads to the
carburetor.
5) Reinstall the element and
cover.
Tighten the air cleaner
bolt securely.
CAUTION
•
Carefully
check the element
for holes or tears and
replace as required. Damaged element will allow dirt
to pass into the engine, causing rapid
wear.
Always
clean the filter
housing
and air passages
before
installing
clean element.
NOTE
•
The engine will run poorly when the air cleaner needs
maintenance.
If it runs better without
the air cleaner
than it does with the elements, or if the length of time
between
needed
cleanings
keeps getting
shorter,
replace the
elements.
Under extremely
dusty condi-
tions such as volcanic ash, silt, etc., the system may
need daily
maintenance.
3. SPARK PLUG
1)
Clean any dirt from around the spark
plug.
2)
Remove the plug cap, and use a spark plug wrench to
remove the
plug.
