Spark Plug Service - PowerWasher pwh2600 Instruction Manual

CAUTION:
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance.
If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
AIR CLEANER
BODY
INSPECTION
1. Press the latch tabs on the air cleaner cover or remove the cap nuts, remove the cover,
and check the lter to be sure it is clean and in good condition.
2. Reinstall the lter and air cleaner cover.
Cleaning
1. Tap the outer lter several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air
(not exceeding 30 psi [207kPa, 2.1kg/cm ]) through the lter from the clean side that
faces the engine. Never try to brush o dirt. Brushing will force dirt into the bers.
2. If the outer lter is very dirty, replace it.
3. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner body and cover using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt
from entering the air duct that leads to the carburetor.
CAUTION:
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the
Distributor's Limited Warranty.
