The air filter element should be wet but not drip-
ping.
8. Install the air filter element.
9. Install the air filter case cover by hooking
the fasteners onto the air filter case.
10. Install the front cover by installing the bolts.
NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet of the air filter case for obstructions. Check
the air cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor and
manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten all
fittings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
