Air Cleaner:
Every 50 hours: Remove air cleaner element by removing
the wing bolts and screws. Inspect and clean heavy duty
paper element by tapping it several times or blow with
compressed air (not to exceed 30 psi). If element is too
dirty or damaged, replace. Clean foam element with liquid
detergent and hot water or with kerosene. Wrap foam element
in a cloth and squeeze dry. Wipe any dirt from the inside of
the air cleaner body and cover using a moist rag. Be careful
to prevent dirt from entering the air chamber that leads to
the carburetor.
Place the foam air filter element to the air cleaner body. Be
sure the gaskets are in place, then reinstall the paper air
filter element and cover. Tighten the air filter wing bolt
securely.
Cleaning the Fuel Strainer
Clean the fuel strainer if it contains dust or water. Remove
dust or water in the strainer cap and wash it in gasoline.
Securely fasten the fuel strainer cap so that fuel will not
leak. Check the fuel strainer every 200 hours of operation or
once a month.
Removing Water from the Fuel ank
After prolonged use, water and other impurities accumu-
late in the bottom of the fuel tank. Occasionally remove
the drain cock and drain the contents. During cold
weather, the more empty are inside the tank, the easier it
is for water to accumulate inside the tank. This can be
reduced by always keeping the fuel tank as full as pos-
sible.
Fuel Addition
Always add clean, fresh unleaded fuel. Always pour
through mesh lining.
Rectifier Fins
Periodically inspect the rectifier fins for contamination.
ALWAYS keep fins free of dirt.
Air Removal
If air enters the fuel system of a gasoline engine, starting
becomes impossible. After running out of gasoline, or
after disassembling the fuel system, bleed the system by
following this procedure:
Turn the operation switch to the ‘ON’ position for 15-30
seconds. Try again, if needed.
