AIR FILTER INSPECTION

1. Unscrew the wing nut and remove
the air cleaner cover.
Check the air filter elements to be
sure they are clean and in good
condition.
2. If the air filter elements are dirty,
clean them as described on page
33. Replace the air filter elements
if they are damaged.
3. Reinstall the air cleaner cover,
and tighten the wing nut securely.
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.

AIR FILTER CLEANING

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If you operate the tiller in very dusty areas, clean the air filter
more frequently than specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
1. Remove the wing nut and the air cleaner cover. Remove the second wing
nut. Remove the elements and separate them.
2. Carefully check both elements for holes or tears and replace if damaged.
