2.Remove the foam element (C).

3.Wash the foam element in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze dry the foam element in a clean cloth.

4.Saturate the foam element with clean engine oil. To remove the excess engine oil, squeeze the foam element in a clean cloth.

5.Install the foam element into the air filter base.

6.Close the cover and move the slide lock to the locked position.

High Capacity Air Filter - Figure 13

The air cleaner system uses a pleated filter with an optional pre-cleaner. The pre-cleaner can be washed and reused.

1.Loosen the fastener (A) that holds the cover (B). Remove the cover. See Figure 13.

2.Remove the pre-cleaner (C) and the filter (D).

3.To loosen debris, gently tap the filter on a hard surface. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a new filter.

4.Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water. Then allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-cleaner.

5.Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter.

6.Install the filter and pre-cleaner into the base (E). Make sure filter fits securely in the base.

7.Install air filter cover and secure with fastener. Make sure the fastener is tight.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to 24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the How To Change The Oil section.

NOTICE: Store the engine level (normal operating position). If the engine is tipped for storage, the fuel tank must be empty and the spark plug side must be up. If the fuel tank is not empty and if the engine is tipped in any other direction, it may be difficult to start due to oil or gasoline contaminating the air filter and/or the spark plug.
