Positioning the Air-Cleaner
Cover for Cold or Warm Air
Temperature
Important:
Running the engine with the
air-cleaner cover positioned for cold-weather
operation in normal conditions can damage the
engine.
The air-cleaner cover has 2 positions: the cold or
normal, ambient air positions:
Adjust the air-cleaner cover as follows:
•
When operating in a cold ambient air condition
(cold air temperature and humidity)—position the
air-cleaner cover with snowflake decal facing out
(Figure

Note:
Use this position if your machine exhibits
carburetor icing. Symptoms include the engine
runs rough at idle or low speed, and it discharges
black or white smoke in the exhaust.
•
When operating in a normal ambient air
condition—position the air-cleaner cover with sun
decal facing out
Note:
Use this position if your machine is not
exhibiting carburetor icing.
