SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Air Cleaner Service
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the
air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
(page 27).
NOTICE
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with damaged elements,
will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type
of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty
(page 68).
