DANGER
DO NOT use gasoline or low flash point
solvents to clean the engine or any of
its components. The possibility exists
of fire or explosion which can damage
the equipment and cause severe bodily
harm or even DEATH.
WARNING
Some maintenance operations may
require a running engine. ALWAYS
make sure the maintenance area
is well ventilated. Gasoline engine
exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can
result in unconsciousness and/or
DEATH when inhaled.
CAUTION
ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before
servicing. NEVER attempt to service a
hot engine.
CAUTION
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire from the
spark plug and secure it away from the engine before
performing pump maintenance or adjustments.
NOTICE
Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual supplied
with your pump for more detailed information about
engine maintenance and troubleshooting.
Inspect the engine daily for cleanliness, oil or fuel leakage,
and loose fasteners.
AIR CLEANER
The engine air cleaner is equipped with a replaceable,
high-density, paper element. Refer to Figure 16 for air
cleaner maintenance.

FASTENERS
Figure 16. Engine Air Cleaner Components
1. Loosen the fasteners and remove the air cleaner
cover and paper filter element.
2. To remove dirt, gently tap the paper filter element
several times on a hard surface. Replace the paper
filter element if it is excessively dirty.
NOTICE
DO NOT use pressurized air or solvents to clean the air
filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents
will dissolve the filter.
3. Reinstall the paper air filter and the air cleaner cover.
Secure the cover with the fasteners and make sure
the fasteners are tight.
NOTICE
Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner
components can allow unfiltered air into the engine,
causing premature wear and failure.
