6.4 CLEANING THE AIR-FILTER
WARNING!
Using gasoline or other flammable solvents can cause a fire or
explosion. Do not operate this product without an air filter.
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow into the carburetor. Clean and maintain the air
filter regularly, especially in dusty areas.
1. Loosen the nut and remove the air filter cover. Remove the air filter
housing and elements and inspect for cleanliness.
2. Gently shake the paper filter or blow with air to remove the dust and
debris.
3. Clean the foam air filter with soap and water or solvent and let dry.
4. Soak the foam filter in clean engine oil.
5. Gently squeeze and then pat out all excess oil and reinstall. If excess oil
remains in the foam filter it can seep through to the paper filter and
damage it.
6. Replace either filter if it is damaged.
Note
Never run the pressure washer without an air filter, doing so will quickly
degrade the engine.
