A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when operating
The engine in extremely dusty areas.
Never use gasoline or low point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire
or explosion could result.

the air cover and remove the
Element.

Wash the element in a solution of household
detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly, or
wash in nonflammable or high flash
point solvent. Allow the element to
dry thoroughly.

oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too
much oil is left in the element.
