How To Service The Air Filter
CAUTION
Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the filter.
Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents will
dissolve the filter.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly or the filter removed as a fire or explosion
could result.
1. Remove the screw (A) from the top of the air filter
assembly (B). See (Figure 12).
2. To prevent debris from falling into the carburetor,
carefully remove the air filter assembly.
3. Remove the foam element (C) from the air filter base.
4. Wash the foam element in liquid detergent and water.
Squeeze dry the foam element in a clean cloth.
5. Saturate the foam element with clean engine oil. To
remove the excess engine oil, squeeze the foam
element in a clean cloth.
6. Install the foam element into the air filter base.
7. Install the air filter assembly onto the carburetor and
secure with screw.

Clean Air Cooling System
CAUTION
Do not use water to clean the engine. Water could
contaminate the fuel system. Use a brush or dry cloth
to clean the engine.
This is an air cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict air
flow and cause the engine to over heat, resulting in poor
performance and reduced engine life.
Daily or before every use, check the engine for accumulated
dirt or debris that may restrict air flow (Figure 13). Use a
brush or dry cloth to remove debris from the finger guard
(A). Keep linkage, springs and controls (B) clean. Keep the
area around and behind the muffler (C) free of any
combustible debris.
Over time, debris can accumulate in the cylinder cooling fins
and cause the engine to overheat. This debris cannot be
observed without partial disassembly of the engine. For this
reason, have an authorized Briggs & Stratton Service
Dealer inspect and clean the air cooling system as
recommended in the "Maintenance" chart.
