MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air
fi lter may be clogged. If running with a dirty air fi lter,
the spark plugs can become fouled.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air fi lter
regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for
the proper service interval).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Operating the engine with loose or
damaged air cleaner components could
allow unfi ltered air into the engine causing
premature wear and failure.
