Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the air cleaner for dirty, loose or
damaged parts.
Every 50 hours—Service the air-cleaner paper
element (more often under extremely dusty,
dirty conditions).
Every 100 hours—Replace the air-cleaner
paper element (more often under extremely
dusty, dirty conditions).
This engine is equipped with a replaceable,
high-density paper air-cleaner element. Check the
air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check
for a buildup of dirt and debris around the air-cleaner
system. Keep this area clean. Also, check for loose or
damaged components. Replace all bent or damaged
air-cleaner components.
Note:
Operating the engine with loose or damaged
air-cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into
the engine, causing premature wear and failure.
1. Rotate the latches outward.
2. Remove the cover to access the air-cleaner
element (Figure
3. Remove the element, and gently tap the element
to dislodge dirt.
Note:
Do not wash the paper element or use
pressurized air, as this will damage the element.
Note:
Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged
element. Handle the new element carefully;
do not use if the sealing surfaces are bent or
damaged.
4. Clean the air-cleaner base as required and
check the condition.
