MAINTENANCE
Replacing Air Filter Honda Engine
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly,
the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty
air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled,
distrupting operation.
For this reason, it is important to replace the
air filter regularly (see the heading
Maintenance Schedule for the proper service
interval).
Cleaning/replacing the air filter is carried out
as follows:
Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the
filter elements. Clean or replace dirty filter
elements. Always replace damaged filter
elements.
1. Remove the two air cleaner covers bolts
from the air cleaner cover and remove
the cover.
2. Remove the foam filter element.
3. Remove the paper filter element from the
grid.
4. Inspect both air filter elements and
replace them if they are damaged.
Always replace the paper filter element
at the scheduled interval (200 hours).
5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to
be reused.
Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element
severval times on a hard surface to remove
dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding
207 kPa, 30psi) through the filter element
from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt;
brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust
system, become very hot
during operation. Risk for
burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust
system to cool at least two (2)
minutes.
