Cleaning the Air Filter Element
Do not use compressed air to clean the air filter; doing so
will damage the filter which may result in damage to the
engine.
The air cleaner element is accessible by unsnapping the clips
on the air canister and removing the cover and air filter element.
Clean inside of cover, canister and dust collector. Install the ele-
ment and cover the same way they were removed. Be sure the
positioning arrow on cover is pointing upward and all clips are fastened securely.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may be removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on the filter
element or any part of the unit.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps of grease in any grease
fitting at any one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals
to fail or grease migration into areas that could damage com-
ponents.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fitting could
damage grease seals and cause premature bearing failure.
