MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter
Standard air filter
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 obtain a coating
that disrupts 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:
1. Remove the four plastic fasteners on the
top of the air filter cowling and remove
the air filter cowling.
2. Remove the paper filter cartridge.
3. Remove the foam filter (pre-cleaner).
Clean the foam filter with liquid detergent
and water. Squeeze dry in a clean cloth.
Saturate with engine oil and squeeze it
inside a clean absorbenth cloth.
4. Tap the paper filter against a fixed
surface to remove dust. If the paper filter
is still dirty, it must be replaced.
5. Wipe clean the inside of air filter housing.
6. Refit the foam filter (pre filter). The text
on the filter shall face upwards.
7. Mount the paper filter in the air filter
housing.
8. Replace the cowling over the air filter
housing. Do not over tighten the plastic
fasteners.
