10.2 Air filter maintenance.
NOTE:
A dirty air filter will restrict the air flow in the carburetor, which will cause
incorrect combustion resulting in serious problems for the engine. Clean the filter
regularly according to the maintenance plan in this manual and with more frequency
in dusty areas.
NOTE:
Never start the equipment without the air filter, otherwise it will cause a
rapid engine abrading.
WARNING:
Do not use low ignition point gasoline or solvents when cleaning the
filter. They are flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
