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.

Wipe dirt from the inside of 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.
