AIR CLEANER

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the mixer, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean
the air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE (see page 6).
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air
filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.
Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements.
Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter
elements.
Cleaning
1. Remove the air cleaner cover
nut from the air cleaner
cover, and remove the cover.
2. Remove the wing nut from
the air filter, and remove the
filter.
3. Remove the foam air filter
element from the paper air
filter element.
4. Inspect both air filter
elements, and replace them if
they are damaged. Always
replace the paper air filter
element at the scheduled
interval (see page 6).
5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
exceeding 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force
dirt into the fibers.

Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and
allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and
allow to dry. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then
squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started
if too much oil is left in the foam.
