Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service the air cleaner foam pre-cleaner after every 50
operating hours and the air cleaner cartridge after every 100
operating hours. More frequent cleaning is required when
operating in dusty or dirty conditions.
1. Release the locking clips and remove the air cleaner
cover (Fig. 43). Clean the cover thoroughly.

3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper
element (Fig. 44). Clean it thoroughly.

and warm water. Squeeze it to remove dirt, but do
not twist it because the foam may tear.
B. Dry it by wrapping it in a clean rag. Squeeze the rag
and foam element dry.
