CAUTION:
y Dust deposit is one of the major causes of reducing output horsepower and increasing fuel
consumption.
y Change the air cleaner element more frequently to prolong the engine’s service life if the scooter
is driven on dusty roads very often.
y If air cleaner is installed improperly, dust will be absorbed into cylinders, which may cause a
premature wear and reducing output power and engine life.
y Be careful not to soak the air cleaner when washing the scooter. Otherwise, it will cause engine
hard to start.
