Maintenance
From a Yamaha owner's manual covering: EF1600, EF2600, YG2600. Check it applies to your exact model before use.
Before you start
- Do not wring out the element; it could tear.
- Never use solvent while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
- The engine should never run without the element; excessive piston and cylinder wear may result.
Procedure
- Remove the air filter cover and element.
- Wash the element in solvent and dry it.
- Oil the element and squeeze out excess oil; element should be wet but not dripping.
- Insert the element into the air filter so the sealing surface matches with no air leak.
