SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow
dust and debris to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on
the engine pistons. Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing the engine's
performance. Clean the air filter more frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule if the engine is used in dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter's outside cover (Fig. 17). Do not allow dirt and debris
to fall into the air filter assembly.
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing (E).
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.
