6.2.4 Engine Air Cleaner
A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing
engine performance. If operating in very dusty conditions, clean
the air filter more often than specified
.
IMPORTANT! Operating the engine without an air filter, or
with a damaged air filter, can allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by Warranty.
Inspection
• Remove the air cleaner cover.
• Remove the foam filter element from the paper filter
element.
• Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always replace
damaged filter elements.
NOTE:
Refer to the engine manual for further
information on servicing the air cleaner.
