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 element more often than specified in the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter element, or with a
damaged air filter element, 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
Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner cover, and remove
the cover. Inspect the filter element. Clean or replace dirty filter
elements. Always replace damaged filter elements.
Refer to this page for instructions that apply to the air cleaner and
filter service.
Reinstall the filter element and air cleaner cover.

Cleaning
1.
Clean the filter element in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to
dry thoroughly. Or clean in nonflammable solvent and allow to
dry.
2.
Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all
excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is
left in the foam.
3.
Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body and cover, using a moist rag.
Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the carburetor.
