Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive.
You can be burned or seriously
injured.
Never use gasoline to clean engine
parts. Use a nonflammable solvent.
Oil the foam element by dipping it in clean engine oil and squeez-
ing out all excess oil. If too much oil is left in the foam, the engine
will smoke when you first start it.
Clean the paper element by lightly tapping it on a hard surface to
knock off dirt or by blowing compressed air (at less than 30 psi)
through the filter from the cover side. Never try to brush off the
dirt - that will just force it into the filter fibers.
Use a damp cloth to wipe any dirt from the inside of the air cleaner
housing and cover. Be careful not to allow dirt into the duct leading
to the carburetor. Be sure the rubber gaskets are in place an in
good condition..
Install the paper element in the cover and the foam element in the
body.
Install the cover with its wing bolt.
t NOTICE 1
Operating the engine with no air cleaner or with damaged elements
can cause rapid engine wear.
