MAINTENANCE
The information in this manual applies to the P25 series of engines. Some basic principles may apply to other
engines produced by MTD and other manufacturers.
As the saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The same can be said about preventive
maintenance on outdoor power equipment. By changing the spark plug and air filter at recommended intervals many
failures can be avoided. Sometimes just clearing off yard debris that has collected through use can make the differ-
ence between a properly running piece of equipment and the expensive inconvenience of unplanned repairs.
Air filter
A dirty air filter can reduce engine power, increase fuel consumption, increase CO emissions and make starting
more difficult.
The air filter should be cleaned every 10 hours of use (depending on area of use, dusty areas require more
frequent cleanings).
To clean/replace the air filter:
1. Remove the air filter cover by pressing in the tab on
the front side of the filter housing and swinging the
cover towards the rear of the engine. See Figure 2.1.
2. Pull the filter out. See Figure 2.2.
3. If the filter is crumbling or brittle, replace the filter.
4. Wash the air filter with warm soapy water. Let the fil-
ter air dry.
DO NOT wring the filter out.
NOTE: Wringing the filter can tear it. Squeeze the filter, but
do not twist it.
5. Put a drop of oil to the filter and squeeze it through
out the filter.
6. Insert the filter into air filter housing.
7. Install the air filter cover.
8. Test run the engine before returning it to service
