AIR CleANeR MAINTeNANCe

A dirty air cleaner can restrict air flowing into the carburetor. To keep the carburetor in good
working conditions, please service the air cleaner periodically. If operating the engine in
extremely dusty area, servicing should be done more often.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and take the element out.
2. Paper element: Wash the element with home detergents and warm water (or non-
flammable or high flash-point cleansing solvents) and dry.
Foam element: Soak in clean engine oil until saturated. Squeeze out excess oil;
otherwise, the engine will smoke when starting.
3. Clean the air cleaner cover and inner surface with a damp cloth. Be careful not to allow
the dust to enter the carburetor.
4. Reinstall the element and reinstall the air cleaner cover.
