STEPS FOR CLEANING BLOCK STYLE FOAM AIR FILTER
1. Before removing the air filter cover, move the choke lever to
the choke position. SEE FIGURE 2.
2. To remove air filter cover, squeeze the latch tabs on both sides
of the cover. SEE FIGURE 3.
3. Once the latch tabs are released, remove the air filter cover
by rotating the cover away from the engine. SEE FIGURE 4.
4. Remove the foam filter element (SEE FIGURE 5) and replace
with a new oiled filter, or clean the original foam filter with
warm water and mild soap by following the previous steps for
Cleaning Air Filter. Remember to thoroughly oil the foam filter
with 30 or 40 weight motor oil and squeeze out any excess
oil.
5. Reinstall the foam filter, pressing it in place to ensure that the
foam is fully seated into its sealed position.
6. Replace the air filter cover so that it fully snaps into place and
is secured by the latch tabs. Check that the cover is securely
attached by pulling slightly on the cover. If the cover doesn't
move when pulled, it is secure. SEE FIGURE 6.
