11.3.5 Changing the air filter
These actions are almost identical to cleaning the air cleaner (read “11.3.4 Cleaning the air filter
(Clean air filter)” on page 49). The only difference here is that the cartridge is replaced.
New air cleaners of the correct type are available from your ELIET Dealer or from an authorized
Briggs & Stratton service centre.
