Clean air filter
WARNING
Never run the log splitter without the air filter. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Remove the air cleaner outside cover (A). Be careful to prevent dirt and debris from falling into
the air cleaner assembly.
2. Separate the Air Filter (A) from the Air Filter Housing (B).
3. Inspect the air filter. Clean dirty air filter with warm water and mild soap. Allow air filter to dry
thoroughly before re-installation.
4. Install the air filter assembly onto the carburetor and secure with screws.
Note: Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean the
filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents will
dissolve the filter.
