4. OIL ALERT
Note:
For convenience, perform this test in conjunction with the
engine oil change.
1.With the engine running, disconnect the yellow lead from the
engine switch, and ground the lead against the engine. The Oil
Alert lamp should flash, and the engine should stop.
2.With the engine stopped, the crankcase filled with oil, and the
oil level switch leads disconnected, check continuity between
the yellow and green oil level switch leads. There should be no
continuity.
3.With the engine stopped, the oil drained from the crankcase,
and the oil level switch leads disconnected, check continuity
between the yellow and green oil level switch leads. There
should be continuity.
5. AIR CLEANER
Dual element, cyclone type:
1.Remove the nut, air cleaner cover, and wing nut. Remove the
air cleaner elements and separate them. Carefully check both
elements for holes or tears, and replace if damaged.
2.Foam element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to
dry thoroughly, or clean in high flash point solvent and allow to
dry. Dip the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out all the
excess. The engine will smoke during initial startup if too much
oil is left in the foam.
3.Paper element: Tap the element lightly several times on a hard
surface to remove excess dirt or blow compressed air lightly
(30 PSI or less) through the filter from the inside out. Never try
to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
4.Wash the paper element with clean, high flash point solvent.
• If you are using a parts washer with a recirculating stream of
solvent, direct the stream at the inside of the element. Do not
use equipment that delivers solvent under high pressure.
WARNING
• Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning
the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
