20 PERIODIC SERVICE

AIR CLEANER

Since 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. This will get rid of large particles of dust and
dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth 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 205 kPa
(2.1 kgf/ , 30 psi).
5. Replace the element every year or every 6
cleanings.

(4) Evacuator valve
A Make sure the wing bolt for the element is tight
enough. If it is loose, dust and dirt may be sucked in,
wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring
earlier and thereby resulting in poor power output.
A Do not overservice the air cleaner element.
Overservicing may cause dirt to enter the engine
causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a
guide on when to service.
BDust indicator (optional)
If the red signal on the dust indicator attached to the air
cleaner is visible, the air cleaner has reached the
service level.
Clean the element immediately, and reset the signal
with the "RESET" button.

BATTERY

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
A Be careful not to let the battery
electrolyte contact your body or
clothing.
A 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.
