CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION!
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Pull out both sides and the center of the
intake grille.
2. Pull the air filters upward to remove them.
Push the air filter handles away from the intake grille in
direction 1, then pull out the air filters.
3. Clean the air filters.
Remove the dust from the air filters by vacuuming or
washing them. After washing, allow the air filters to dry
thoroughly in an area protected from sunlight.
4. Re-attach the air filters to the intake grille.
1 The air filters fit onto the inside of the intake grille.

2 The bottom edges of the air filters should fit into the
filter brackets. (figure 1)

● Dust can be cleaned from the air filter either with a vacuum
cleaner, or by washing the filter in a solution of mild de-
tergent and warm water. If you wash the filter, be sure to
allow it to dry thoroughly in a shady place before rein-
stalling.
● If dirt is allowed to accumulate on the air filter, air flow
will be reduced, lowering operating efficiency and increas-
ing noise.
● During periods of normal use, the air filters should be
cleaned every two weeks.
