HOW TO CLEAN THE AIR FILTER

The engine uses a foam air filter that can be cleaned and reused. Clean and oil the air filter every 25 hours. Clean more often in dusty conditions. Remove and clean the air filter as follows:

CAUTION: Never run the engine without the air filter installed. An air filter clogged with dust can result in loss of engine power and can cause excessive wear or damage to the engine. If the air filter is clogged, clean or replace immediately.

1.	Disconnect the spark plug wire from the
	spark plug.
2.	Remove the screws from the air filter
	cover (see Figure 12). Remove the air
	filter cover and the air filter.
3.	Wipe the cover and the inside of the air
	filter housing with a clean cloth.
4.	Clean the air filter in a solution of water
	and household detergent. Rinse tho-
	roughtly in clean water.

6.Cover the outside of the air filter with oil. Use the same type of oil as used to make the fuel mixture. Lightly squeeze the air filter to distribute and remove any excess oil.

7.Put the clean air filter into the air filter housing.
