Air Cleaner - Honda HRU19RPU Owner's Manual & Service Record Booklet

Maintenance

Air cleaner

Dirty air filter(s) will restrict airflow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance. If you
operate the mower in very dusty conditions, clean the air filter(s) more often than specified in
the Maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Operating the engine without air filter(s), or with a damaged filter(s) will allow dirt
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by Honda's Warranty.
