drain or throw it in the trash. It is recommended to take it to your local recycling centre or
service station for reclamation.
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow dust and debris
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on the engine pistons. Always
ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the engine is used
in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more frequently than specified in the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove the air cleaner’s outside cover. Be careful to prevent dirt and debris from falling into
the air cleaner assembly.
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
