Servicing the air cleaner
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
1. Press the latch tabs on the fuel tank side of the air cleaner cover and remove
the air cleaner cover.

2. Remove the element. Carefully check the element for holes or tears and
replace it if damaged.
3. Tap the element lightly several times on a hard surface to remove excess dirt,
or blow compressed air through the filter from the inside out. Never try to
brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the element
if it is excessively dirt.
