2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body. Before
removing the filter, use low pressure air (40 psi, clean
and dry) to help remove large accumulations of debris
packed between outside of primary filter and the
canister. Avoid using high pressure air which could
force dirt through the filter into the intake tract. This
cleaning process prevents debris from migrating into
the intake when the primary filter is removed.

3. Remove and replace the primary filter. Cleaning of the
used element is not recommended due to the possibility
of damage to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for
shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter
and the body. Do not use a damaged element.
4. Inspect the safety element and replace it if is dirty or
damaged.

5. Insert the new filter by applying pressure to the outer
rim of the element to seat it in the canister. Do not apply
pressure to the flexible center of the filter.
6. Clean the dirt ejection port located in the removable
cover. Remove the rubber outlet valve from the cover,
clean the cavity and replace the outlet valve.

downward position – between approximately 5:00 to
7:00 when viewed from the end.

Checking and Replacing the
Spark Plugs
Since the air gap between the center and side electrodes
increases gradually during normal engine operation, check
the spark plugs at 200 hour intervals and replace as
required. The correct spark plug to use in the engine is a
Champion RC12 YC or equivalent. Set the air gap at
.040 in.
1. Disengage the hood latches and open the hood.
