Note: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. Do not throw in trash or pour

Air Filter
A dirty air cleaner may block air flowing into the carburetor. To keep the carburetor in good working condition, service
the air filter periodically. If operating engine in a dusty environment, it should be cleaned frequently.
1.) Remove the wing nut and the air cleaner cover. Remove the
element and separate them. Carefully check element for
holes or tears and replace if damaged.
2.) Clean element with household detergents and warm water,
rinse thoroughly. Allow element to dry completely.
3.) Soak element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess
oil. Engine will smoke during initial start- up if too much oil
is left on foam.
4.) Reinstall the filter element and air cleaner housing.
CAUTION

Never run the engine without an air cleaner. Dirt
and dust may enter the engine and cause it to
ware.
