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 (see
page 6).
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. Pull the air cleaner cover latch to the unlocked position, and remove
the cover.
2. Release the two spring tabs from the element holder, and then
remove the element holder and remove the foam filter element from
the element holder.
3. Remove the paper filter element.

5. Clean the 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
2
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 filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to
dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all
excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in
the foam.

6. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner body and cover, using a
moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air chamber
that leads on the carburetor.
7. Reinstall the paper filter element.
8. Put the foam filter element on the element holder, and reinstall the
element holder on the air cleaner case. Hook the two spring tabs
securely.
