AIR FILTER
A clean air filter will provide good engine performance and prolong
its useful life.
An obstructed air filter restricts the air intake of the engine, increasing
the petrol consumption and reducing the engine power as well as
causing the destruction of the spark plug.
WARNING
If dirt enters the engine then this will lead to excessive wear
and engine damage. Inspect the air filter regularly as indicated
in the Maintenance table.
