WARNING
Make sure that the engine has stopped and 
is cool before performing any service to the 
blower. Contact with rotating blower fan or 
hot muffler may result in a personal injury.
AIR CLEANER
• Never operate the blower without an air filter or with 
a deformed or broken filter element. 
• Check the air cleaner before use. 
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption 
while cutting down the engine power. Never operate 
the blower without the air filter or with a deformed fil-
ter element because unfiltered dusty air will quickly 
ruin the engine. 
CLEANING AIR FILTER:
1. Unscrew 2 knob bolts and remove the air cleaner 
cover. Then remove a prefilter mounted inside the 
air cleaner cover. 
      
9. Maintenance
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control device and systems may be per-
formed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
2. Wash the prefilter in fresh, non flammable cleaning 
solution (ex. warm soapy water) and then dry.
(Clean the air filter once in a week.)
3. Exchange the paper filter element with new one in 
case it has been contaminated. 
WARNING
• This prefilter is dry type.
• Never wash the prefilter in oleaginous cleaning so-
lution.
FUEL FILTER
• A clogged fuel filter may cause poor acceleration of 
the engine. Check periodically to see if the filter is 
clogged with dirt. The filter can be taken out of the 
fueling port using a small wire hook. Disconnect the 
filter assembly from the fuel pipe and unhook the re-
tainer to disassemble it. Clean the components with 
gasoline.
