Servicing the air cleaner
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent
carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result.

2.Remove the element. Carefully check the element for holes or tears
and replace it if damaged.
3.Tap the element lightly several times on a hard surface to remove
excess dirt, or blow compressed air through the filter from the inside
out. Never try to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the
fibers. Replace the element if it is excessively dirt.
