Weekly Maintenance Checks
(every 50 hours of operation)
Inspect the air filter
The canister style air filter is inspected by removing the
cap from the front left side of the ABI Force. Detach clips
and pull primary filter from housing. Replace if clogged.
Inner air filter should be changed every 300 hours or
when it becomes clogged.
NOTE: It's easy to damage an air filter by cleaning it with
compressed air. A faulty air filter will allow dirt into the
engine that could cause damage to internal components.
If you are reusing the existing filter element make sure
the sealing surface isn't damaged before installation.
Never run engine with inner air filter removed, engine
damage may result.
