Your engine has an air cleaner which helps prevent 
premature engine wear and failure. NEVER run engine 
without complete air cleaner installed on engine. Your air 
cleaner’s filter(s) periodically needs to be cleaned or 
replaced. To do this, you first need to determine the type of 
air cleaner on your engine. Your engine will be equipped 
with one of the following air cleaners; Type A, B, C, D or E. 
See Figure 42 thru Figure 46. Follow instructions for the air 
cleaner type that resembles your model. 

Clean foam pre-filter every 3 months or every 25 operating 
hours. Clean daily if used in extremely dusty conditions. 
After removing the pre-filter, follow these cleaning 
instructions below:
1. Wash in warm water and detergent solution then press 

(DO NOT twist) until all dirt is removed.

2. Rinse thoroughly until water is clear. 

3. Wrap in a clean cloth and press (DO NOT twist) until 

completely dry.

4. Replace foam pre-filter onto paper filter.

Paper filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced once 
a year or every 100 operating hours; more often if used in 
extremely dusty conditions. Replacement filters are 
available at an Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer. 
Follow the instructions next to the drawing of your air 
cleaner to remove and replace it. 

1. Loosen cover screws. See Figure 42.

2. Turn cover counterclockwise and remove from base.

3. Remove optional foam pre-filter, if provided, from 

cover. Inspect for dirt or debris accumulation. If either is 
present see "I. Servicing Foam Pre-Filters" 
instructions.

4. Remove paper filter from base. Inspect filters for 

discoloration or dirt accumulation. If either is present,  
see "II. Servicing Paper Filters" instructions.

5. Clean inside of base and cover thoroughly.

6. Install new paper element into base.
