WEEKLY

1.Remove the fuel filter cap and clean the inside of the fuel tank.

2.Remove or clean the filter at the bottom of the tank.

3.Remove and clean the spark plug (See Figure 19), then adjust the spark gap to 0.028~0.031 inch (0.6~0.7 mm). This unit has electronic ignition, which requires no adjustments.

DANGER

DO NOT use gasoline as a cleaning solvent, because that would create a risk of fire or explosion.

ENGINE AIR CLEANER

1.Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as shown in Figure 21.

2.Tap the paper filter element (See Figure 21) several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through the filter element from the air cleaner case side. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.

3.Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or non-flammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip the element in clean engine oil and completely squeeze out the excess oil from the element before installing.
