MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled, disrupting operation.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system become very hot during operation. There is a risk for burns if touched. Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes.
Cleaning/replacing the air filter is carried out as follows:
1.Remove the plastic fastener on the top of the air filter cowling and remove the air filter cowling.
