MAINTENANCE

REPLACING AND CLEANING AIR FILTER

See Figures 16 and 17.

For proper performance and long life, keep air filter clean.

LATCH

1.Remove the air filter cover by pushing down on the latch with your thumb while gently pulling on the cover.

2.Remove the filter and clean it in warm soapy water. Rinse and let dry completely. For best performance, replace annually.

3.Install the filter, align tabs, push in, and make sure the latches are locked into place.

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor- mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.
