MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

WHEN REQUIRED

CHECK, CLEAN AND REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

If inspection, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out with the engine running, dirt will get into the engine and damage it.
Always stop the engine before carrying out these operations.
When using compressed air, there is danger that dirt may be blown around and cause serious injury.
Always use protective glasses, dust mask, and other protective equipment.
Checking
1. Open the engine rear cover.
2. When dust indicator (1) turns red, clean the air cleaner element and suction opening net.
NOTICE
Do not clean the air cleaner element before the red piston in dust indicator (1) appears.
If the air cleaner element is cleaned frequently before the red piston in the dust indicator appears, the air cleaner cannot provide
the proper performance and the cleaning efficiency is lowered.
