Service Air Filter
NOTE: Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the
filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents
will dissolve the filter.
The air filter system uses a cylindrical cartridge. Some
models also include a pre-cleaner that can be washed
and reused.
1. Remove the fasteners (A) and the air filter cover (B).
See Figure 28.
2. To remove the filter (C), lift the end of the filter and
then pull the filter off the intake (D).
3. Remove the pre-cleaner (E), if equipped, from the
filter.
4. To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard
surface. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a
new filter.
5. Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water.
Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-
cleaner.
6. Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter.
7. Install the filter on the intake. Push the end of the
filter into the base as shown. Make sure filter fits
securely in the base.
8. Install air filter cover and secure with fasteners.
