INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Air cleaner
Spark plugs
During installation, check that the wires,
couplers, sealing rubber of air cleaner
chassis and washers, are correctly
returned in place.
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
