AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The air cleaner is a dual filter cleaner, equipped with a foam pre-cleaner
over a conventional paper cartridge. The filters must be serviced per
the Periodic Service Schedule (Ref Fig. 22 on page 3-26) for optimum
engine life and performance.
To prevent engine damage, be
careful not to let debris fall into the
carburetor when servicing the air cleaner.
To prevent water entering air cleaner and causing
starting or engine problems, replace air cleaner cover
making sure the entire flange around the bottom of
the cover fits over the top edge of the air cleaner base.
Secure with the spring clips.
Access the filters by unsnapping the spring clip on each side of the air
cleaner and removing the air cleaner cover (Ref Fig. 30 on page 3-33).
If necessary, vacuum or wipe out any loose dirt or trash from the air
cleaner base.
Pre-Cleaner Service
The foam pre-cleaner is to be used dry. Do not put
oil on the foam.
Carefully remove pre-cleaner from cartridge and wash it in liquid deter-
gent and water. Rinse. Dry by squeezing pre-cleaner in a clean cloth.
Do not put oil on the pre-cleaner. Install pre-cleaner over cartridge.
Replace air cleaner cover making sure the entire flange around bottom
of cover fits over the top edge of the air cleaner base. Secure with the
spring clips.
Cartridge Service
Do not use petroleum solvents,
pressurized water, or compressed
air to clean cartridge. Doing so will damage the
cartridge and will damage the engine.
The paper cartridge is a dry unit. Do not use oil on
the cartridge.
