Oil filter assemblyReplacementWarning:Long-term or repeat contacting mineral oil will cause decomposing of natural fat on skin, which
will result in dry and sensitive skin and skin rankling. Used oil has potential harm and may cause
carcinoma cutis.When replacing engine oil, always wear protective clothes and gloves to avoid waste oil
penetrating, and reduce the frequency and time of skin contacting waster oil, and clean with
soapy water or clean water not with gasoline, thinner or solvent if skin contacts waste oil.To protect environment, waste oil and oil filter must be abandoned at named place.1. Remove engine right bottom shield.

Starting and charging - Starting systemStarting and chargingStarting systemInspection1. Starter installation componentsNote: this test must be finished within 3 to 5 seconds to
avoid burning out coil.
(a) Remove nut at C terminal to uncouple wire of field coil.
(b) As shown in the diagram, connect battery wire to electro-
magnetic switch, and check drive pinion is pushed outside,
(pull-in coil and hold-in coil).
(c) As shown in the diagram, uncouple negative wire from ter-
minal C after the above connections, and check drive pin-
ion is still at the state of being pushed outside.(Hold-in coil)
(d) Push drive pinion toward armature side, and measure the
clearance between drive pinion end and stop ring.
Standard clearance: 1.0~5.0mm
(e) Uncouple negative wire from electromagnetic switch
housing, and check drive pinion returns back to original
position toward inside.79Terminal C
