AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
the Air Filter
Clean and re-oil the air filter per
the Maintenance Schedule.
It is
an important item to maintain.
Failure to maintain your air filter
properly can result in poor
performance
or can cause
permanent damage to your
engine.
1.
Open the air filter cover.
Push the locking tab on the
underside of the cover
inward. Then pull the air filter
cover out and up. (Fig. 23).
2.
Remove the air filter (Fig. 23).
3.
Wash the filter in detergent
and water (Fig. 24). Rinse the
filter thoroughly and allow it
to dry.
4.
Apply enough clean SAE 30
motor oil to lightly coat the
filter (Fig. 25).
5.
Squeeze the filter to spread and
remove excess oil (Fig. 26).
6.
Replace the filter (Fig. 23).
NOTE:
If the unit is operated
without the air filter, you
will VOID the warranty.
7.
Reinstall the air filter cover.
Position the slots on the top
of the air filter cover onto the
tabs at the top of the back
plate (Figs. 23).
8.
Swing the cover down until
the tab on the air filter
backplate snaps into place
in the slot on the air filter
cover (Fig. 23).
IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is
adjustable. An idle adjustment
screw is between the air filter
cover and the engine starter
housing (Fig. 27).
NOTE:
Careless adjustments
can seriously damage
your unit. Aside from the
idle speed, only a Sears
or other qualified service
dealer should make
carburetor
adjustments.
Check Fuel
Old fuel is usually the reason for
improper unit performance.
Drain
and refill the tank with fresh fuel
prior to making any adjustments.
Refer to Oil and Fuel Information.
