ENGINE AIR CLEANER
NOTICE
Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner
components could allow unfiltered air into the engine
causing premature wear and failure.
CAUTION
Wear protective equipment such as
approved safety glasses or face shields
and dust masks or respirators when
cleaning air filters with compressed air.
1. Remove wing nut that secures the air cleaner cover
to the air cleaner body. Remove cover and set aside.
2. Next, remove the foam and paper filter elements as
shown in Figure 30.
3. Tap the paper filter element (Figure 30) several times
on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed
air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)]
through the filter element from the air cleaner case
side. NEVER brush off dirt. Brushing will force dirt
into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is
excessively dirty.
