2.3 Checking the Air Cleaner
Never run the engine without the air cleaner element in place. Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants,
such as dust and dirt being drawn through the carburetor into the engine.
CAUTION!
Tools Required:
#2 Philips Head Screwdriver
Procedure:
1. Remove the maintenance cover.
2. Remove the three screws from the air cleaner. Remove the cover to check the element. Clean
or replace as necessary (see
Section 3.4
for details).
3. Replace the air cleaner element and cover. Tighten the screw.
4. Replace the maintenance cover and tighten the screw.
