AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
The foam air filter element must be cleaned regularly to prevent
impurities from entering the engine and causing premature wear. A
dirty air filter will reduce engine power and increase fuel
consumption.
CAUTION:
• Never run the engine without the air filter, as this could cause premature
wear of the engine.
1. Open the air filter cover [5] and remove the filter [6] from the filter
housing [7].
