76G01C-237
TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Turn the engine according to the procedures
described below.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections.
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly.
2. Check the electrolyte level.
If the level is too low, add distilled water to the "UP-
PER LEVEL" mark.
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer.
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less,
recharge the battery, by referring to Section 5.
Air Cleaner Element
Visually check the air cleaner element for being ex-
cessively dirty, damaged or oil.
Clean or replace it if necessary.
Caution
(Wet type)
Do not clean the air cleaner element with com-
pressed air, replace if necessary.
(Dry type)
When cleaning the air cleaner element, blow
dust off from the inside first, then blow off the
outside.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil
level gauge.
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.

1C TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Coolant Level
Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet
port, and that the level in the reserve tank is between
the FULL and LOW marks.
Add coolant up if the level is low.
Warning
Never remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully
remove the cap.
4BG01B-010
Water Draining
1. Drain the water from the sedimenter or fuel filter.
If it is difficult to drain the water from the drain plug,
loosen the air bleeding plug.
2. Bleed the air from the sedimenter or fuel filter. (Re-
fer to Section 4D)
76G01C-005
Valve Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
