4. Low evaporative fuel tanks DO NOT require regular maintenance to maintain emission integrity.
* Replacement is recommended based on the finding of damage or wear during inspection.
Air Filter
Level 1.
1. Close choke (Cold Start Position [ ]). This prevents dirt
from entering the carburetor throat when the air filter is
removed. Brush accumulated dirt from air cleaner area.
2. Remove air filter cover. Brush dirt from inside cover.
3. Remove air filter and lightly brush debris from filter. Replace
filter if it is damaged, fuel soaked, very dirty, or the rubber
sealing edges are deformed.
4. If filter can be reused, be certain it:
• Fits tightly in the air filter cavity.
• Is installed with the original side out.
5. Install air filter cover.
Fuel Filter
Level 1.
Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing,
storing or handling, or serious personal injury may result.
1. Use a clean rag to remove loose dirt from around fuel cap
and empty fuel tank.
2. Use the “fuel line hook” to pull the fuel line and filter from
the tank.
3. Remove the filter from the line and install the new filter.
Note: Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later gasoline powered engines produced for
sale in the United States to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel supply hose between the
carburetor and fuel tank. When servicing model year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply
hoses certified by EPA can be used to replace the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to
$37,500 may be enforced for using an un-certified replacement part.
