■
Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from the use of
fuels that contain an improper alcohol blend are not covered under warranty.
■
Before buying fuel from an unfamiliar station, Determine if the fuel contains ethanol
and if it does, confirm the type and percentage of ethanol used. If you notice any
undesirable operating symptoms while using a gasoline that contains ethanol, or
one that you think contains ethanol, replace it by a gasoline that you know has the
proper blend.
3.3 Check the air cleaner
1.
Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition.
2.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the maintenance cover.
3.
Remove the air filter retaining screws. Remove the cover and check the element. Clean or replace the
element if necessary.
■
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from
contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into the
engine.
