2. Air cleaner service

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent car-

buretor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more fre-

quently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.

m Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the

air cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.

1 IMPORTANT NoTlCE 1 Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid

engine wear will result.

Remove the wing nut and the air

cleaner cover. Remove the

elements and separate them.

Carefully check both elements for

holes or tears and replace if

damaged.

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 start-up if too much

oil is left in the foam.

PAPER

ELEMENT

Paper element: Tap the element

lightly several times on a hard sur-

face to remove excess dirt, or

blow compressed air through the

filter form the inside out. Never try

to brush the dirt off; brushing wil

force dirt into the fibers.
