Inspection
1) Remove the air cleaner element. Refer to "Air
Cleaner Element Removal and Installation in Section
1D (Page 1D-6)".
2) Inspect the air cleaner element for clogging. If it is
clogged with dirt, replace it with a new one.
CAUTION
!
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the
air cleaner element more frequently. The
surest way to accelerate engine wear is to
operate the engine without the element or to
use a torn element. Make sure that the air
cleaner is in good condition at all times. Life
of the engine depends largely on this
component.
3) After finishing the air cleaner element inspection,
reinstall the removed parts.

1) Remove the air cleaner element. Refer to "Air
Cleaner Element Removal and Installation in Section
1D (Page 1D-6)".
2) Carefully use compressed air to clean the air cleaner
element.
CAUTION
!
B718H10206002 Always apply compressed air to the inside of
the air cleaner element. If compressed air is
applied to the outside, dirt will be forced into
the pores of the air cleaner element,
restricting air flow through the air cleaner
element.
3) After cleaning the air cleaner element, reinstall the
removed parts.
4) Drain water from the air cleaner by removing the
drain plug.
