SERVICING YOUR ENGINE

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.
(see page 20).
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 two air cleaner cover bolts from the air cleaner cover,
and remove the cover.
2. Remove the foam filter element.
3. Remove the paper filter element from the grid.

damaged. Always replace the paper filter element at the scheduled
interval (see page 20).
