Air Cleaner - EMAK K 700 H Workshop Manual

3.3 Air cleaner

A dirty air filter will restrict fair flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the engine is
operated in dusty areas, clean the air cleaner more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE
Warning
Washing filter element with gasoline or flammable solvents many cause fire or explosion, please
use soapy water or nonflammable solvent.
Note
Operating the engine without an air filter element or with a damaged air filter will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
