Air Cleaner

Inspection
Make sure the air filters are clean and in good condition. A dirty air filter will
restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. Refer to page
47 for air cleaner service.

Grass Bag

A lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner; it blows air through the bag, which
traps the grass clippings. Always empty the grass bag before it becomes filled
to the limit of its capacity. Bagging performance will diminish after the bag
becomes about 90% filled. Also the bag is easier to empty when not packed
full.
Inspection
Inspect the grass bag before use.
Check for holes, tears and excessive wear.
The grass bag will wear during normal use and will eventually require
replacement (See page 56).
