Maintenance of the Air Filter
NOTE: Dirty air filters reduce the engine output by supplying too little air to the carburettor.
Regular checks are therefore essential. The air filter should be checked monthly and
cleaned if necessary. If the air contains a lot of dust, the air filter should be checked
more frequently.
