Air Filter
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to
the carburetor and cause poor engine
performance. Inspect the filter each time
the engine is operated. Clean the filter
more frequently if the engine is operated
in very dusty areas.
NOTICE: Operating the engine without a
filter will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear. This type of
damage is not covered under the
warranty.
