Air Cleaner Service

Dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the
air cleaner more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filters, or damaged filters, will
allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of
damage is not covered by the Warranty.
1. Unscrew and remove the two air cleaner nuts, then remove the air
cleaner cover.
2. Remove the filter elements from the air cleaner housing, and
remove the foam filter element from the paper filter element.

damaged.

4. Clean the filter elements.
Paper filter element: Tap the filter several times on a hard surface to
remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 207 kPa)
through the filter from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt;
brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
