SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER:
Clean or replace the PAPER FILTER every 25 hours
of operation or once each year, whichever comes
first.

1. Loosen the two screws that retain the air cleaner COVER and

remove the COVER.

2. Remove the PAPER FILTER.

3. Clean the PAPER FILTER by tapping gently on a flat surface. If

PAPER FILTER is extremely dirty, replace it.

4. Clean the air cleaner BASE and COVER, then install the new

PAPER FILTER Into COVER.

5. Install COVER with PAPER FILTER. Retain to BASE with two

screws.

AIR INTAKE

See Figure 2. Air is drawn into the air cleaner, passes
through the air cleaner filter, and is then ported to the
carburetor air inlet through an air intake hose.
Periodically inspect the air intake hose for condition,
damage, holes, perforations, etc. Replace hose, if
necessary. Inspect air intake hose clamps for tight-
ness, condition. Tighten or replace as necessary.
