2.Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent
carburetor malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more
frequently when operating the grass/weed trimmer in extremely dusty
areas.
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for cleaning the air
cleaner element. A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will
result.
