9.6 Engine Air Cleaner
Check air filter every 50 hours of operation. Change
air filter elements at 100 hours of operation or
annually.
NOTE:
Refer to the engine manual for information
on servicing the air cleaner.
A dirty air filter can restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated
in very dusty areas, 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 and inspect the filter
elements. Clean or replace dirty filter elements. Always
replace damaged filter elements.
9.7 Electrical System – General
IMPORTANT! When assembling or replacing wire
harnesses, apply a thin coating of silicone dielectric
grease to the harness connectors.
Clean off any corrosion or loose particles, then apply
a small amount to the surfaces of the connectors
where they meet. The grease helps to stop any
possibility of future corrosion.
Reassemble the connection. If grease squeezes out,
wipe off with a rag or towel.
