2. Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the power sprayer in extremely dusty areas.
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air
cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result.
1. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position (see page 25).
2. Remove the air cleaner cover by unhooking the upper tab on the top of
the air cleaner cover and its two lower tabs.
3. Wash the element in a nonflammable or high flash point solvent and dry
it thoroughly.
4. Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil.
5. Reinstall the air cleaner element.
