5. Inspect both air filters, and replace them if they are damaged.
Always replace the paper
air filter at the scheduled interval (see
page
41 ).
6. Clean the air filters if they are to be reused.
Paper air filter: Tap the paper air filter several times on a hard
surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding
30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgfkm’)] through the paper air filter from the
air cleaner case side.
Never try to brush
off dirt: brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
Replace the paper air filter if
it is excessively dirty.
Foam air filter : Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry
thoroughly. Or clean
in nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, and
allow to dry.
Do not put oil to the foam air filter.
7. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner case and cover, using a
moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air chamber
that leads to the carburetor.
8. Place the foam air filter to the air cleaner cover, then reinstall the
paper air filter and cover to the air cleaner case. Hook four latch tabs
securely.
