8.7 Engine Air Cleaner
Check air lter every 40 hours of operation. Change
air lter elements at 100 hours of operation or
annually.
NOTE:
Refer to the engine manual for information
on servicing the air cleaner.
A dirty air lter can restrict air ow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated
in very dusty areas, clean the air lter more often than
specied.
IMPORTANT! Operating the engine without an air
lter, or with a damaged air lter, can allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This
type of damage is not covered by Warranty.

Inspection
Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the lter
element. Clean or replace dirty lter elements. Always
replace damaged lter elements.
1. Press the latch tabs (1) on the top of the air cleaner
cover (2), and remove the cover. Check the lter (3)
to be sure it is clean and in good condition.
2. Reinstall the lter and air cleaner cover.
Cleaning
3. Tap the lter several times on a hard surface to
remove dirt, or blow compressed air not exceeding
30 psi (207 kPa) through the lter from the clean
side that faces the engine. Never try to brush off dirt.
Brushing will force dirt into the bers.
4. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body (4) and cover
using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from
entering the air duct (5) that leads to the carburetor.
