• Operating the engine with the air cleaner filter

air cleaner filter not only cleans the intake air,
it also stops flame if the engine backfires. If
the air cleaner filter is not installed and the engine backfires, you could be burned. Never
drive with the air cleaner filter off. Be cautious
working on the engine when the air cleaner
filter is off.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body or at-
tempt to start the engine with the air cleaner
removed. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury.
To remove the filter, release the lock pins ➀and
pull the unit upward ➁. The dry paper type filter element may be cleaned
and reused. Replace the air filter according to the
maintenance schedule shown in
aseparate mainte-
nance booklet.
When replacing the filter, wipe the inside of the air
cleaner housing and the cover with adamp cloth. SDI2452Z JVM0451XZ

ter when operating the windscreen wipers, wax or
other materials may be on the windscreen and/or
wiper blades.
Clean the outside of the windscreen surface with a
washer solution or mild detergent. Your windscreen
is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with wa-
ter.
Clean the blade by wiping it with acloth soaked in a
washer solution or amild detergent. Rinse the blade
with water. If your windscreen is still not clear after cleaning the blades and using the wipers, replace
the blades.
Be careful not to clog the washer nozzlej

• Worn windscreen wiper blades can damage
the windscreen and impair driver vision. The variable voltage control system measures the
amount of electrical discharge from the battery and
controls voltage generated by the alternator.

• Do not ground accessories directly to the bat-
tery terminal. Doing so will bypass the vari-
able voltage control system and the vehicle
battery may not charge completely.
• Use electrical accessories with the engine
running to avoid discharging the vehicle bat-
tery. SDI2048Z
