3. Inspect the air filter element, and replace it if it is damaged.
Always replace the paper air filter element at the scheduled
interval (see page 7).
4. Clean the air filter element if it is to be reused.
Tap the paper air filter element several times on a hard surface
to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 200 kPa
2
(2.0 kgf/cm
, 29 psi)] through the filter element from the air
cleaner body side. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force
dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper air filter element if it is
excessively dirty.
5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner body and cover using
a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct
that leads to the carburetor.
6. Reinstall the paper air filter element to the air cleaner body.
7. Install the air cleaner cover, and tighten the screw securely.
