PRIMARY MAINTENANCE

The engine must gulp about 12,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel used. Because

of its working environment, the air available to your Snapper engine is heavily saturated with airborne dirt particles.

As the dirt particles are stopped, they build up and begin to clog the outside of the air filter. This reduces the amount of air available to the engine and causes an over-rich fuel mixture which results in the following adverse effects:

An improperly serviced, dirt clogged air cleaner will:

1. Increase fuel consumption.

2. Cause power loss.

3. Result in hard starting.

4. Create smoke from

unburned fuel.

5. Produce carbon build-up internally.

6. Foul spark plug

electrodes.

7. Score cylinder walls.

8. Burn valves.

9. Wear out the engine pre-maturely.

10. COST YOU MONEY!

Knowing the dirt will quickly ruin an engine, manufacturers equip their engine with extremely efficient air cleaners to filter out the harmful dirt.

Damage caused by a poorly serviced air cleaner is not covered under the engine warranties. So, save yourself unnecessary expenses and undue aggravation by keeping the air cleaner properly serviced at the intervals specified in the engine owner’s manual.

It doesn’t take long to service an air cleaner. Follow the specific instructions in the engine owner’s manual for the type filter used. Prevent dirt from falling into the carburetor intake when servicing your air cleaner. Make sure components are installed in correct sequence after servicing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the engine. Some servicing hints on several common types are:
