AIR CLEANER
In case of driving in dusty environment, air filter shall be cleaned regularly. It is of great
possibility to accelerate wear to engine if there is not filtering element or worn filtering element
is used. So, please keep air filter under good conditions all the time. If vehicle is used in dusty
area, inspect more frequently than specified in MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust,intake resistance will be increased,with a resultant
decrease in power output and an increase in fuel consumption. never remove or modify any
component in the air filter housing. The engine management system is calibrated to operate
specifically with these components. Otherwise, engine performance degradation or damage
can occur.Check and clean the air cleaner element in the following manner:
Remove the middle seat.
Release 4 clamps and remove air filter
housing cover.
CAUTION:PREVENT CLAMPS FROM FALLING.
Loosen clamp and remove air filter.
Blow low pressure compressed air on filter
element to clean it.
Properly re-install removed parts in the reverse order of their removal. pay attention to the seal
gasket of air filter housing is not skew.
CAUTION
1. If liquid /deposits are found, squeeze and dry the foam filter.
Replace filter element if damaged.
2. Do not start engine if liquid or deposit are found. If there is oil in the air filter housing,
check engine oil level. Oil level or temperature may be too high.
3. Inspect the air cleaner element for tears, a torn element must be replaced.

valve damage and reduced power.
Check the intake and exhaust valve clearances at the distances indicated above and adjust the
valve clearances to specification,if necessary.
Valve clearance is to be checked when the engine is cold.The intake and exhaust valves must
be checked an adjusted when the piston is at TOP-DEAD –CENTER(TDC) on the compression
stroke.
Lift the rear cargo bed.
