A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine

performance. If you operate the pump in very dusty areas, clean the

air filter more frequently than specified in the

Maintenance Schedule

(see page ).

Unscrew the wing nut from the

air cleaner cover, and remove

the air cleaner cover.

Unscrew the wing nut from the

air filter, and remove the air

filter.

Reinstall the air cleaner cover, and tighten the wing nut securely.

Place the foam air filter element over the paper air filter element,

and install the assembled air filter. Be sure the gasket is in place

beneath the filter. Tighten the wing nut securely.

Wipe dirt from the air cleaner base and cover (and silencer if

applicable), using a moist rag.

Foam air filter element: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse

thoroughly, or wash in non-flammable solvent. Allow the filter

element to dry thoroughly. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil,

then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started

if too much oil is left in the filter element.

Paper air filter element: Tap the

filter element several times on a

hard surface to remove dirt, or

blow compressed air [not

exceeding 30 psi (270 kPa, 2.1

kg/cm )] through the filter

element from the inside out.

Never try to brush off dirt;

brushing will force dirt into the

fibers.

Separate the foam and paper

air filter elements. Check both

filter elements, and replace

them if they are damaged.

Always replace the paper air

filter element every year or 300

hours. Clean the air filter

elements if they are to be

reused.
