AIR CLEANER
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty area clean the air filter
more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
NOTICE
Operating the engine without air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine weak.
Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements. Clean or replace
dirty filter elements. Always replace damaged filter elements. If equipped with
an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level.
Cleaning
1. Remove the wing nut from the air cleaner cover,
and remove the cover.
2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter, and
remove the filter.
3. Remove the foam filter from the paper filter.
4. Inspect both air filter elements, and replace
them if they are damaged. Always replace the
paper air filter element at the scheduled interval.
