NOTICE
Drain the fuel tank before tipping the machine. DO NOT
tip the machine with the carburetor or spark plug down. Oil
from the crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the
engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If contamination
does occur, the air filter will have to be replaced.

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
• Never start and run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly (if equipped) or the air filter (if equipped)
removed.
NOTICE Do not use pressurized air or solvents to clean
the filter. Pressurized air can damage the filter and solvents
will dissolve the filter.

Various models use either a foam or a paper filter. Some
models may also have an optional pre-cleaner that can be
washed and reused. Compare the illustrations in this manual
