18 PERIODIC SERVICE
AIR
CLEANER
As
the element
of
the air cleaner employed on this engine
is
a dry type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a
we
ek under ordinary
conditions-or daily when used in a
dusty
place-to get
rid
of
large particles
of
dust and dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth
or
the like
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 205kPa
(2.1
kgf/cm
',
30psi).
5. When carbon
or
oil adheres
to
the element, soak the
element in detergent for
30
minutes, then wash
it
several times In water, rinse with clean water and dry
it naturally.
6. After element
is
fully dried, inspect inside
of
the
element with a light and check
if
it
is
damaged
or
not.
(referring
to
the instructions
on
the
label attached to
the element.)
7. Replace the element every

IMPORTANT:
• Make sure the wing bolt for
the
element is tight
enough.
If
it is loose, dust and
dirt
may be sucked,
wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring earlier
and thereby resulting in poor power output.
•For
the air cleaner with a dust cup
(optional)
Remove and clean out the dust cup before it becomes half
full with dust; usually once a week,
or
even every day
if
the
working surroundings are dusty.
Install the
air
cleaner dust cup with "TOP" indicated on the
rear
of
the
cup
in the upside. (However,
it
may be installed
in either direction when the cover is placed
at
the
lower
part.)

• If the dust cup
is
mounted incorrectly, dust
or
dirt does
not collect in the cup, and direct attachments
of
the
dust to
the
element will cause its lifetime
to
shorten
to
a great extent.
BATTERY
A
CAUTION
To
avo
id
personal injury:
• Be careful not to let the battery electrolyte
contact your body or clothing.
• 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.
