5.3 Cleaning The Air-Filter
Using gasoline or other flammable solvents can cause a fire or explosion.
Do not operate this product without an air filter.
1. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to release.
2. Lift the filter cap to remove from the filter.
3. Remove the foam filter.
4.
If the foam filter is dirty, clean it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it to
dry thoroughly, or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
5. Dip the foam filter in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess oil. The
engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left in the filter.
6. Wipe dirt from the air filter unit and cover using a moist rag.
