KEEP YOUR AIR FILTER CLEAN! In a new machine, your filter should be clean. However, after you have used this machine for a while, your filter will accumulate dirt and dust. Check the condition of your filter frequently. A dirty or clogged filter element will restrict the air flow to the carburetor, thus changing the air-fuel mix. This will create symptoms often mistaken for the carburetor being out of proper adjustment. To clean the filter, follow these steps:

1.Loosen and remove two screws from cover.

2.Remove COVER, SCREEN, and FOAM FILTER from MAIN BODY.

3.Inspect SCREEN(S) and FOAM FILTER for discoloration or dirt accumulation. Clean if either is
