■AIR CLEANER
After every 25 hours of operation, release the air cleaner cover and remove dusts. In case the element is dirty, carefully wash it with warm water containing neutral detergent. Completely dry before refitting the element. If the element is deformed or damaged, replace it with new one.
IMPORTANT
Clogged air cleaner spoils engine performance. Also, operation with no element or with deformed or damaged element causes irregular wear outs of the engine mechanism.
NOTE
To remove the air cleaner cover, disengage a clip on the light side of the cover first. When recovering, engage right side clip first. (F7)
