Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control device and
systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or
individual.
9. Maintenance
Make sure that the engine has stopped
and is cool before performing any
service to the blower. Contact with
rotating blower fan or hot muffler may
result in a personal injury.
■
AIR CLEANER
• Never operate the blower without an air
filter or with a deformed or broken filter
element because unfiltered dusty air
will quickly ruin the engine.
• Check the air cleaner before use.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel
consumption while cutting down the
engine power.
• Never clean a paper filter by striking it
with or against another object. The filter
may be damaged and resultant dust
contamination can diminish engine
performance.
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1. Unscrew 2 knob bolts and remove the
air cleaner cover. Then remove a
prefilter mounted inside the air cleaner
cover.

2. Wash the prefilter in fresh, non
flammable cleaning solution (ex. warm
soapy water) and then dry.
(Clean the air filter once in a week.)
3. Exchange the paper filter element with
new one in case it has been
contaminated.
• This prefilter is dry type.
• Never wash the prefilter in
oleaginous cleaning solution.

FUEL FILTER
• A clogged fuel filter may cause poor
acceleration of the engine. Check
periodically to see if the filter is clogged
with dirt. The filter can be taken out of
the fueling port using a small wire hook.
Disconnect the filter assembly from the
fuel pipe and unhook the retainer to
disassemble it. Clean the components
with gasoline.
