MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air
filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air filter, the
spark plugs can become fouled, disrupting operation.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter
regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for
the proper service interval).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system
become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to
cool at least two (2) minutes.
