A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine 
performance. If you operate the mower in very dusty areas, clean the 
air filter more often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 
(page 30).

Operating the engine without an air filter, or with damaged elements, 
will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This type 
of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty
(page 72).

1. Unscrew and remove the air cleaner cover screws, then remove 

the air cleaner cover.

2. Remove the air filter and separate the filter elements. 

3. Inspect the elements for holes, tears, or other damage, and 

replace them if they are damaged.

4. Clean the elements.

Paper element: Tap the element several times on a hard surface to 
remove dirt, or blow compressed air (not exceeding 30 psi
[207 kPa]) through the element from the inside. Never try to brush 
off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
