POINTS ON OIL
– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the
relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every
6 months).
CLEANING OF AIR CLEANER
WARNING: Shut off the engine, keep away from open flames
and do not smoke.

1) Remove the element (sponge), immerse it in warm water or in water-
diluted neutral detergent, and dry it completely.
2) Clean the element (felt) with gasoline, and dry it completely.
Before attaching the element, be sure to dry it completely. Insufficient drying

of the element may lead to difficult start-up.
– Fit the element (sponge) into the element (felt).
Fit the elements into the plate so that the sponge faces the air cleaner cover.
