1.21 Servicing Air Cleaner
The engine is equipped with a dual element air cleaner.
1. Remove air cleaner cover
(a)
. Remove precleaner
and paper element and inspect them for holes or
tears. Replace if damaged.
2. Precleaner
(b)
:
Clean with low-pressure compressed air. When very
soiled, wash in solution of mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse thoroughly in clean water. Allow to dry
thoroughly before re-installing.
Note:
Do not oil precleaner.
3. Paper element
(c)
Tap element lightly to remove excess dirt. Replace
paper element if it appears heavily soiled.
4. Wipe out filter housing
(d)
with a clean rag.
CAUTION:
Do not allow dirt into the engine intake port
while cleaning—damage to the engine will result.
e
Under normal operating conditions the air cleaner elements will not require cleaning and should not be removed from
the machine. If the elements do become plugged with dirt, the engine will begin to lose power. In this case, the elements
can be removed and cleaned as described below. Replace an element if it becomes so plugged with dirt it can no longer
be cleaned.
CAUTION:
NEVER
run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine damage will occur.
NEVER
use gasoline or other types of low flash
point solvents for cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or
explosion could result.
