Air Filter
The air cleaner filters dirt and dust out of the air before it enters
the carburetor. Operating the engine with a dirty, clogged air
filter can cause poor performance and damage to the engine.
Never operate the engine without the air cleaner installed.
Inspect and service the air cleaner more often if operating in very
dusty or dirty conditions. Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual
for air cleaner service intervals and instructions.
