AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner is the engine’s only defense against
damaging foreign particles. It is very important that the air
cleaner element is inspected prior to each use. Remove
the element and tap its sides in order to remove debris.
Do not blow the filter out using compressed air. Doing so
will greatly reduce the air cleaner’s effectiveness.
Replace yearly; more often in dusty environments.
Adhering to these practices will help prevent loss of
power and premature engine failure.
