NOTE:_ The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time the air filter element mainte-
nance is performed, check the air inlet to the filter
case for obstructions. Check the air filter case rub-
ber joint to the carburetor and manifold fittings for
an airtight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to
avoid the possibility of unfiltered air entering the
engine. _CAUTION:_ Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating. _
