WARNING:
Running the engine with a dirty, damaged or missing air filter element can result in
danger to the operator and cause the engine to wear out prematurely.
Check every 50 hours of operation (refer to Fig. 9 - Recommended Maintenance Schedule).
Routine maintenance of the air filter helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor. The air filter should be
free of excessive dirt.
