Installing the Foam and Paper Elements
IMPORTANT: To prevent engine damage,
always operate the engine with the complete
foam and paper air cleaner assembly
installed.
1. Carefully slide the foam element onto the paper
air cleaner element (Fig. 26).
2. Slide the air cleaner assembly onto the long rod.
Now screw the rubber nut finger-tight against the
air cleaner (Fig. 27).
Note: Make sure the rubber seal is flat
against the air cleaner base.
3. Install the air cleaner cover and knob (Fig. 25).
Tighten the knob snugly.
