SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
This engine’s air cleaner is one of the most important
areas to maintain. The engine will not run properly
and may get damaged if it is run with a dirty air
cleaner system.
Clean or replace the paper air filter (Figure 6) every
50 hours of operation or once a year, whichever
comes first. Clean or replace the filter more often if
the engine is operated under dusty or dirty condi-
tions. Clean the foam pre-filter every 25 hours of
operation, or sooner under dusty or dirty condi-
tions.
