CLEAN AIR FILTER

CAUTION:

Do not clean filter in gasoline or

other flammable solvent to avoid creating a

fire hazard or producing harmful evaporative

emissions.

Cleaning the air filter:

mance of the engine and increases fuel con-

sumption and harmful emissions. Always

hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Clean more frequently in dusty conditions. A

used air filter can never be completely

cleaned. It is advisable to replace your air fil-

ter with a new one after every 50 hours of op-

eration, or annually, whichever comes first.

Rinse with clean cool water. Air dry com-

pletely before reinstalling.
