3-10 DISASSEMBLY, REASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner
The quality of the inspection or maintenance of the air cleaner
significantly affects the durability and the performance of the engine.
If the engine is used in a dusty area, the air cleaner element should be
cleaned more frequently than the regular inspection intervals.
Element Cleaning
•
The sponge element should be used slightly wet with oil. To clean
the sponge element, first wash it thoroughly in cold or warm water
that contains detergent. Then, rinse it in plain water and allow it to
dry. Immerse the element in fresh engine oil, wrap it in a clean cloth,
squeeze the oil out of it, and install the element while it retains some
oil.
•
To clean the paper element, gently tap on the steel end plate of the
element to remove the dust. Otherwise, wash it in a soap solution by
shaking it, rinse it in water, and allow it to air dry. If the element is
extremely dirty, replace it with a new one.
