RECOMMENDED SERVICE PROCEDURE

Many engine failures can be attributed to improper air cleaner servicing. Ingested dust and dirt will cause cylinder, piston and bearing damage in a few hours. “Dusted” engines will result from:

1.Overservicing the air filter element.

2.Improper installation.

3.Damaged filter, seals or canister.

4.Incorrect air filter element size.

5.Use of poorly designed aftermarket air filter elements.
