AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Air Filter

To avoid serious personal injury, always turn your trimmer off and allow it to cool before you clean or do any maintenance on it.

Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation. It is an important item to maintain. Not maintaining the air filter will VOID the warranty.

1.Remove the carburetor/air filter cover by pushing on the tab on top of the cover (Fig. 6-9).

2.Remove the air filter (Fig. 6-10).

3.Wash the filter in detergent and water. Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.

4.Apply enough clean SAE 30 motor oil to lightly coat the filter (Fig. 6-11).

5.Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil (Fig. 6-11).

6.Reinstall the filter (Fig. 6-10) and air filter cover (Fig. 6-9).

NOTE: If the unit is operated without the air filter, you will VOID the warranty.
