WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly (if equipped) or the air filter (if equipped)
removed.
NOTICE Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean
the filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents
will dissolve the filter.
The air filter system uses either a flat or a cylindrical cartridge
air filter. Some models are also equipped with a pre-cleaner
that can be washed and reused.

the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a new filter.
4. Wash the pre-cleaner in liquid detergent and water. Then
allow it to thoroughly air dry. Do not oil the pre-cleaner.
5. Assemble the dry pre-cleaner and the filter into the
engine base (E, Figure 38).
