Renew Air Cleaner Element
Your air cleaner filters air entering the engine induction system and acts as
a silencer and a flame arrester. Air that contains dirt and grit produces an
abrasive fuel mixture, and can cause severe damage to the cylinder walls
and piston rings. Damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings will cause
high oil consumption and short engine life. A restricted or dirty air cleaner
will also cause a rich fuel mixture. Thus, it is extremely important that the
air cleaner be serviced at recommended intervals.
CAUTION: Service the air cleaner more frequently under
severe dust conditions to prevent engine damage.
1. Release the air cleaner lid retaining hardware.
2. Lift the air cleaner lid clear of the air cleaner body, then remove the air
cleaner element and discard it.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner body and lid clean, using a lint-free rag.
4. Insert the new element, ensuring that it fits properly and install air
cleaner lid.
