AIR CLEANER

• Check the air cleaner before use.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine
power.
• Never operate the blower without an air filter or with a deformed or broken filter
element because unfiltered dusty air will quickly ruin the engine.
[170BT/170BF]
• Never clean the paper filter by tapping on it. Doing so may break the element,
causing dust to get sucked into the blower and damaging the engine.
