9.7 AIR FILTER - GASOLINE
NOTICE
DO NOT use bent or dented air cleaner housing.
DO NOT use bent or dented air cleaner elements.
IMPORTANT!
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE FILTER ELEMENT
BE REPLACED BEFORE ENGINE
PERFORMANCE IS AFFECTED. THIS MAY
OCCUR AT 250 HOURS OF SERVICE UNDER
VERY DUSTY CONDITIONS OR AT 500 HOURS
UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CLEANING THE
FILTER ELEMENT BECAUSE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING IT.
CHECKING THE ELEMENT
To check for damage, pin holes, etc. shine a light
source into the end of the element. If light CANNOT
be seen through the paper, a new element should be
installed. Likewise, if pinholes of bright light appear
in the paper, the element should be replaced (See
Fig. 9.7.1).
Pre-Cleaner
To clean the pre cleaner, separate it from the
cartridge and wash in liquid detergent and water.
Squeeze dry in a clean cloth.
DO NOT use pressurized air or solvents
to clean cartridge. Pressurized air can
damage cartridge; solvents will dissolve
cartridge.
