SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Foam element: Clean it in warm soapy water and rinse or clean it in
nonflammable solvent; allow it to dry thoroughly. Apply foam filter
oil to the clean foam element and squeeze out all the excess oil.
NOTICE
Excess oil will restrict air flow through the foam element and may
transfer to the paper element, soaking and clogging it.
5. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover,
using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air
duct that leads to the carburetor.
6. Reinstall the filter and cover. Tighten the cover screws securely.
