NOTICE : Operating the engine without an air cleaner, or with a damaged air cleaner,
will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

Press down on the cover tabs and remove the cover.

Remove the filter from the
air cleaner base..

Inspect the filter and foam
element, and replace it if
damaged.

Clean the filter by tapping it
several times on a hard
surface to remove dirt, or
blow compressed air
through the air filter from the
inside. Never try to brush off
dirt; brushing will force dirt
into the fibers.

the air cleaner base and cover, using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from
entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.

Reinstall the filter and cover.
