The air filter has two parts. The outer foam section covers the
paper element and can be removed.
If the foam element appears clean over more than half its surface,
it does not need cleaning. Reinstall the cover. If the foam element
appears dirty, continue to the next step.
/Ticiq
Operating the engine with no air cleaner or with damaged
elements can cause rapid engine wear.
Clean the outer foam element of any debris. Remove the wing
nut, then remove the air filter. Separate the foam element from
the paper element, and carefully check for holes or tears. Replace
any damaged element(s).
Clean the foam element by squeezing it in warm soapy water,
rinsing it, and allowing it to dry. You may also use a nonflammable
solvent and then allow it to dry.
