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.
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 nut from the
air cleaner cover, and remove
the cover.
2. Remove the wing nut from the
air filter, and remove the filter.
3. Remove the foam filter from the
paper filter.
4. Inspect both air filter elements,
and replace them if they are
damaged. Always replace the
paper air filter element at the
scheduled interval (see page
22).
5. Clean the air filter elements if
they are to be reused.
