A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carbu-
retor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.

Using gasoline or flammable solvent to clean the filter element can
cause a fire or explosion. Use only soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
1.Unsnap the air cleaner cover clips, re-
move the air cleaner cover, and remove
the element.
2. Wash the element in a solution of
household detergent and warm water,
then rinse thoroughly, or
wash in nonflammable or high flash
point solvent. Allow the element to dry
thoroughly.
3. Soak the element in clean engine oil
and squeeze out the excess oil. The en-
gine will smoke
during initial start-up if too much oil is
left in the element.
4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and
the cover.
