CAUTION:
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”) con-
tain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting
in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.

element seat.
9. Reinstall the element to the element
guide.
10. Reinstall the element assembly and parts
removed for access.NOTE:The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-

extremely dusty areas. Each time filter element
maintenance is performed, check the air inlet
to the filter case for obstructions. Check the air
cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor and man-
ifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten all fit-
