MAINTENANCE

AIR CLEANER

CHECK/CLEANING/REPLACEMENT

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated
in dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than
specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without the air filters or with the
filter installed loosely will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. Install the air filters
securely.
Remove the following:
– Wing nut [1]
– Air cleaner cover [2]
– Wing nut [3]
– Element Assy.
– Grommet [4]
– Inner filter (Paper) [5]
– Outer filter (Foam) [6]
Carefully check both filters for holes or tears and
replace if damaged.
Clean the filters if they are to be reused (page 3-4).
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
ELEMENT CLEANING
FOAM
Clean the filter [1] in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow
to dry thoroughly, or clean with a non-flammable
solvent and allow to dry thoroughly.
Dip the filter in clean engine oil, and squeeze out all the
excess oil.
Excess oil will restrict air flow through the foam element
and may cause the engine to smoke at startup.
