Your Tecumseh engine is equipped with a
dry paper cartridge air filter (A16).
Every 10 operating hours check condition
of paper cartridge.
Every 50 operating hours or more regularly
(see Air Filter Cleaning Instructions
number 1).
If engine is operating in dusty or dirty
areas the air filter system will require
shorter maintenance intervals.
Do not attempt to wash, clean, or oil the
paper cartridge.

wrap in a clean dry cloth and 'squeeze dry'.

passes through the slot in the foam filter.
