MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air
fi lter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air fi lter, the
spark plugs can become fouled, disrupting operation.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air fi lter
regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for
the proper service interval).
Cleaning/replacing the air fi lter is carried out as
follows:
1. Remove the plastic fastener on the top of
the air fi lter cowling and remove the air fi lter
cowling.
2. Remove the foam rubber pre-fi lter and clean
using a mild detergent. Squeeze it dry with a
clean cloth.
3. Remove the wing nuts for the air fi lter and
remove the paper fi lter.
