MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Air Filter
Clean and re-oil the air filter every 10 hours of operation.
It is an important item to maintain. Failure to maintain
your air filter properly can result in poor performance or
can cause permanent damage to your engine.
1. Remove the carburetor/air filter cover by pushing on
the tab on top of the cover (Fig. 20).
2. Remove the air filter (Fig. 21).
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. 22).
5. Squeeze the filter to spread and remove excess oil
(Fig. 22).
6. Reinstall the filter (Fig. 21) and air filter cover.
NOTE: Operating the unit without the air filter and air
filter/muffler cover assembly will VOID the warranty.
To avoid serious
personal injury,
always turn your unit off and allow it to cool
before you clean or service it.
