2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter, and remove the filter.

3. Remove the foam filter from the paper filter.

4. Inspect both air filter elements, and replace them if they are damaged. Always

replace the paper air element at the scheduled interval.

5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.

Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a hard surface to

remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30psi] through the filter element

from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.

Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow drying

thoroughly. Or clean in nonflammable solvent and allow to dry. Dip the filter element

in clean engine oil, and then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when

started if too much oil is left in the foam.

6. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover, using a moist rag. Be

careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct the leads to the carburetor.

7. Place the foam air filter element over the paper element, and reinstall the

assembled air filter. Be sure the gasket is in place beneath the air filter. Tighten

the air filter wing nut securely.

8. Install the air cleaner cover, and tighten the cover wing nut securely.
