8. AIR-CLEANER
a. The air-cleaner,1, is held on the engine with the rubber
band. Untie this band and pick up the air-cleaner by
hand.
b. Pinch the vacuum valve,2, to eject the dust accumulat-
ed inside. When the dust is wet, wipe it off with dry
cloth.
c. Draw the element,3, out of the air-cleaner.
d. Dust it off by patting lightly while holding it with the
other hand.
e. When the element does not become clean only by pat-
ting, blow dust off the element with compressed air.
Apply compressed air from inside to outside of the ele-
ment.
f. When the element does not become sufficiently clean
only by blowing, dip it in neutral detergent solution for
about 30 minutes and then rinse it in fresh water. Then
dry it in the atmospheric temperature.
g. After cleaning install the element in reverse order of
disassembly.
IMPORTANT:
•
Never hit the element against a hard object like a con-
crete wall.
• An element which has already been washed five times
or is damaged should be replaced with a new one.
• Never attempt to start the engine without the air-cleaner
element. Such operation will cause engine trouble.
9. FUEL STRAINER
The fuel strainer,1, is located at middle lower on the left
side of the front mower. Check the strainer for accumulated
dust or water in the bottom of the strainer cup.
a. When dust or water is found accumulated in the bot-
tom, turn the fuel cock lever,2, by 180 degrees towards
the bolt to stop fuel flowing.
b. Remove the ring nut,3, to remove the strainer cup and
element.
c. Wash the inside of the strainer cup and element in die-
sel fuel.
DANGER:
• Smoking is prohibited when the fuel strainer
is being cleaned or inspected.
