NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check
the air cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor
and manifold fittings for an air tight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possi-
bility of unfiltered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally,
operation without the filter element will
affect carburetor jetting with subsequent
poor performance and possible engine
overheating.
