Air Filter Inspection & Service
A dirty 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.
Note:
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 warranty.
1. Remove the wing nut, and remove the air cleaner cover.
2. Carefully remove plastic grid from the bottom of the cover.
3. Carefully remove the foam air filter from the cover. Wash
the filter in warm, soapy water, rinse, allow to dry
thoroughly.
4. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover,
using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering
the air duct that leads to carburetor.
5. Insert the cleaned, dry or new foam air filter in the cover
and replace grid.
6. Reinstall the air cleaner assembly. Be sure the gasket is in
place beneath the air filter.
7. Tighten the air filter wing nut securely.
