Checking, Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter

Operating the machine without a functional air filter may cause severe engine damage and will void
any warranty. • A dirty or oil saturated air filter will restrict air flow, which can be mistaken as fuel
system problems. Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting engine idle speed, where applicable. •
If the air filter is damaged (torn, broken, disintegrating), replace it.
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal
damage to it. The engine breather may be connected to the air intake assembly – this may lead to a build-up
of oil in the air filter over extended use and is normal. The air filter requires regular maintenance as per the
maintenance schedule.

Air Filter Inspection and Cleaning

Inspect the air filter for dirtiness and debris, damage etc. Clean or replace the filter element as necessary. To
clean air filters:
•
For foam filters, wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry.
•
For paper filters, use compressed air to blow particles from it. The air should be blown from the engine
side of the filter.
•
Clean all other air filter assembly components using water and mild detergent, then dry them.
•
For foam filters, place a few drops of clean engine oil on the filter then squeeze it a few times to spread
the oil through the filter material and remove any excess oil.
