NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time the filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check
the air cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor
and manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tight-
en all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine.
CAUTION:
Never operate the engine with the air filter el-
ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter, causing rapid engine wear and possi-
ble engine damage. Additionally, operation
without the filter element will affect carbure-
tor jetting with subsequent poor performance
and possible engine overheating.
