MAINTENANCE
FUEL FILTER
An in-line fuel filter is located in the fuel supply line.
Inspect at every oil change to make sure it is clean
and unobstructed. Replace if dirty.
DUAL ELEMENT AIR CLEANER
Engines equipped with dual element air cleaners
have a paper air cleaner element with an oiled, foam
precleaner element on the dirty side of the paper
element. Both should be inspected regularly and
maintained.
Clean and re-oil precleaner element every 25 hours
(more often under dusty conditions).
1. Disassemble air cleaner cover.
2. Remove precleaner.
3. Wash precleaner in kerosene or liquid detergent
and water.
4. Wrap precleaner in cloth and squeeze to remove
cleaner.
5. Saturate precleaner in engine oil. Squeeze to
remove excess oil.
6. Re-install precleaner. Reassemble air cleaner
components and screw assembly down tight.
Every 100 hours (more often under very dusty or dirty
conditions), check the paper cartridge.
- Clean by tapping gently.
- Do not wash the cartridge or use compressed air
which can cause damage.
- Replace when cartridge is dirty, bent or
damaged.
