NOTE
Always brush dirt and debris away from air cleaner area prior to
cleaning air fi lter.
1. Brush dirt off air cleaner area. Keep dirt away from engine and
air intake grid.
2. Remove air fi lter cover. Brush dirt from inside cover and away
from edges of air fi lter.
3. Check air fi lter seal for tight fi t with air fi lter case.
4. Remove air fi lter from case. Use care to prevent dirt and debris
from falling into air fi lter case.
5. Inspect fi lter element and seal. Replace fi lter if any of these prob-
lems are present:
•Air fi lter seal does not fi t tightly against case
•Air fi lter seal is distorted, worn, or damaged
•Air fi lter element has holes or other damage
•Air fi lter element is saturated with dirt
•Air fi lter element is soaked with fuel mix
6. If air fi lter is in good condition and can be cleaned and reused,
lightly brush debris from air fi lter element, or blow fi lter element
clean using low pressure (40 psi or less) compressed air directed
at inside of fi lter.
IMPORTANT
When using compressed air, always direct air stream at inside sur-
face of fi lter so dust and debris will be blown out of fi lter. Keep air
nozzle 6 - 8 inches away from fi lter to prevent damage to fi lter.
7. Install air fi lter in case, and replace cover.
NOTICE
Actual replacement interval for air fi lter depends on operating con-
ditions. Operation in dustier applications requires more frequent
cleaning and replacement. Continued operation with a damaged
or excessively dirty fi lter will allow dirt and debris to enter engine,
and result in poor performance, rapid engine wear, and premature
engine failure.
