AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the
engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the MAlNTENANCE
SCHEDULE.
NOTICE:
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.
1. Remove the wing nut, and remove the air cleaner cover.
2. Carefully remove plastic grid from the bottom of the cover.
3. Carefully remove the foam air filter from the cover. Wash the filter
in warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner base and cover, using
a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air
duct that leads to the carburetor.
5. Insert the cleaned, dry or new foam air filter in the cover and
replace plastic grid.
6. Reinstall the air cleaner assembly. Be sure the gasket is in place
beneath the air filter.
7. Tighten the air filter wing nut securely.
SEDIMENT CUP CLEANING
1. Move the fuel valve to the OFF position, then remove the fuel
sediment cup and 0-ring.
2 Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
3 Handle fuel only outdoors.
WARNING!
Wipe up spills immediately.
4. Wash the sediment cup and 0-ring In nonflammable solvent, and
dry them thoroughly.
5. Place the 0-ring In the fuel valve, and install the sediment
cup. Tighten the sediment cup securely.
6. Move the fuel valve to the ON position, and check for leaks.
Replace the 0-ring if there is any leakage.
