Air Cleaner Service - Honda GX610 Owner's Manual

AIR CLEANER SERVICE
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter
more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow
dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not
covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
1. Remove the wing bolt from the air cleaner cover, and remove the cover.
2. Remove the two 5 mm screws from the air cleaner cover and remove the
paper element from the cover.
3. Remove the foam filter from the air cleaner body.
