Air Cleaner
Normally, clean air filter precleaner (foam element) after
every 25 operating hours and the air cleaner filter (paper
element) after every 100 operating hours. More frequent
cleaning is required when the mower is operated in
dusty or dirty conditions. Replace air cleaner filter (pa-
per element) after 200 operating hours.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine
is OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Remove wing nuts securing the air cleaner cover to
air cleaner and remove cover. Clean cover thoroughly
(Fig. 9).
3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper
element (Fig. 10). Clean foam element thoroughly.
A. WASH element in a solution of liquid soap and
warm water. Squeeze it to remove dirt. Do not twist
element because foam may tear.
B. DRY by wrapping the element in a clean rag.
Squeeze rag and foam element to dry.
C. SATURATE element with clean engine oil.
Squeeze element to remove excess oil and to dis-
tribute oil uniformly. An oil damp element is desir-
able.
4. When servicing the foam element, check condition
of the paper element. Clean or replace as required.
5. Reinstall foam element, paper element, and air
cleaner cover. Tighten wing nuts.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate engine without air
cleaner element because extreme engine wear and
damage will likely result.
