E. Anti-Icing Baffle
Some engines may be equipped with an anti-icing air
cleaner baffle that prevents ice from forming in the
carburetor when the engine is run at temperatures below
32°F (0°C).
Engines equipped with the baffle will have an opening
which draws warm air from the muffler into the air cleaner
housing. To work effectively, it is necessary for the baffle to
block cold air from entering the air cleaner.
Be sure air cleaner cover is in correct "WINTER" or
"SUMMER" position before operation.

1. Remove wing nut from air cleaner cover. See Figure 24.
