If the foam element appears clean over more than half its
surface, it does not need cleaning. Reinstall the air cleaner
housing cover. If the foam element appears dirty, continue
to the next step.
[NOTICEI
Operating the engine without the air cleaner or with
damaged elements can cause rapid engine wear.
Remove the air cleaner assembly. Separate the foam
element from the paper element, and carefully check for
holes or tears. Replace any damaged element(s).
Clean the foam element by squeezing it in warm soapy
water, rinsing it, and allowing it to dry. You may also use a
nonflammable solvent and then allow it to dry.
Oil the foam element by dipping it in clean engine oil and
squeezing out all excess oil. If too much oil is left in the
foam, the engine may smoke when started.
Clean the paper element by tapping it on a hard surface to
knock off dirt or by blowing compressed air (at less than 30
psi) through the element from the inside. Never try to brush
off the dirt - that just forces it into the paper filter fibers.
Use a damp rag to wipe any dirt from the inside of the air
cleaner housing and cover. Be careful not to allow dirt into
the duct leading to the carburetor. Be sure the rubber seal
in the base is in place and in good condition.
