AIR CLEANER

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas,
clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air
filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.

Inspection

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged
filter elements.

Cleaning

1. Release the four spring tabs from the air cleaner cover, and

4. Inspect both air filter elements, and replace them if they are
damaged. Always replace the paper air filter element at the
scheduled interval (see page
5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
exceeding 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi)] through the filter
element from the clean side that faces the engine. Never try to
brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the
paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.
Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and
allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and
allow to dry. Do not put oil on the foam element.
6. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover, using
a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the chamber
that leads on the carburetor.
7. Place the foam air filter element in the air cleaner cover, then
reinstall the paper air filter element and cover to the air cleaner
base. Hook the four spring tabs securely.
