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.
Reference section 4 for the recommended replacement
interval of the air cleaner. Adhering to these practices will
help prevent loss of power and premature engine failure.
