Checking, Cleaning or Replacing the Air Filter

Operating the machine without a functional air filter may cause severe engine damage and will void
any warranty. A dirty or oil saturated air filter will restrict air flow, which can be mistaken as fuel system problems. Check
the condition of the air filter before adjusting engine idle speed, where applicable. If the air filter is damaged (torn, broken,
disintegrating), replace it.
The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal damage to it. The air filter requires
regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule.
Air Filter Inspection and Cleaning
Inspect the air filter for dirtiness and debris, damage etc. Clean or replace the filter element as necessary. To clean air filters:
• For foam filters, wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry.
• For paper filters, use compressed air to blow particles from it. The air should be blown from the engine side of the filter.
• Clean all other air filter assembly components using water and mild detergent, then dry them.
• For foam filters, place a few drops of clean engine oil on the filter then squeeze it a few times to spread the oil through the filter
material and remove any excess oil.
Air Filter Removal/Installation
To remove the air filter:
01. Unscrew (rotate left) the wing nut (B) securing the air filter cover (C) and remove the cover from the air intake assembly (A).
02. Unscrew (rotate left) the wing nut (D) and remove the filter element (E).
To install the air filter:
01. Re-install the filter element and ensure it is seated correctly on the air intake assembly.
