MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If running with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval).
Dust cap
Check the dust cap every day by pressing the rubber valve with two fingers to let out the dirt.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Operating the engine with loose or damaged air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into the engine causing premature wear and failure.
Air filter housing and filter
Remove the end cover of the air filter housing by unhooking the two retaining clips at each side.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the air filter.
Filter should be assembled dry and not be oiled.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before servicing.
