3.
Clean the housing interior with warm soap and water. Allow to dry before
reassembly.
4.
Inspect the air filter to see if you can clean it or if it should be discarded.
Discard if it is too dirty and replace with a new filter.
a.
Remove the foam precleaner that is wrapped around the pleated
paper filter. Clean the dirty foam air filter element with warm water
and mild soap. Replace the water as necessary, until the water is no
longer dirty. Allow to dry.
b.
Tap the pleated filter against a hard surface to dislodge dirt and dust.
Finer particulate matter may still remain lodged in the filter's fibers.
c.
Use clean compressed air to clean the pleated filter. Set the
compressor to a maximum of 30 PSI. Anything higher can damage
the filter. Hold the air nozzle inside the filter and direct the air stream
outward to blow the dirt and debris away from the outer surface.
NOTICE! Do not use compressed air with
chemicals to clean the air filter. The chemicals
could clog or dissolve the filter material.
d.
Never attempt to brush the
accumulated dust and debris from
the filter. This will force the grime
into the fibers and plug the filter.
e.
Reassemble the foam and paper
filter elements.
5.
Reinstall the filter into the housing and
secure in place.
6.
Install the air filter assembly onto the
carburetor and secure with screw.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
NOTICE! Using an incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage. Only replace a
spark plug with a model recommended by the manufacturer.
The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits for the best
performance. Check local bylaws to see if a resistor spark plug is required to
suppress ignition signals. Replace the included spark plug with a resistor spark
plug if required.
1.
Remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
