Replacing Air Filter
The engine is equipped with a replaceable, high 
density paper air cleaner element and an oiled, foam 
precleaner which surrounds the paper element.  
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the 
engine. Check for a buildup of dirt and debris around 
the air cleaner system. Keep this area clean. Also 
check for loose or damaged components. Replace all 
bent or damaged air cleaner components.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Operating the engine with loose or 
damaged air cleaner components could 
allow unfiltered air into the engine causing 
premature wear and failure.
Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air 
filter may be clogged. If running with a dirty air filter, 
the spark plugs can become fouled.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter 
regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for 
the proper service interval).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust 
system become very hot during 
operation. Risk for burns if 
touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system 
to cool at least two (2) minutes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use compressed air to clean the air 
filter.
Do not wash the paper filter.
Do not oil the paper filter.
Do not tap filter to clean this could cause 
damage to the sealing.
Servicing Precleaner
