Inspect every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 6 months) and
replace every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 18 months).
Always use air pressure on the throttle body side of
the air cleaner element. If air pressure is used on the
other side, dirt will be forced into the pores of the air
cleaner element thus restricting air flow through the
air cleaner element.
If driving under dusty condition, clean the air cleaner
element more frequently. The surest way to accelerate
engine wear is to use the engine without the element
or to use a ruptured element. Make sure that the air
cleaner is in good condition at all times. Life of the
engine depends largely on this component!
