MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter
If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly,
the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty
air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled
disrupting operation.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air
filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance
Schedule for the proper service interval).
Cleaning/replacing the air filter is carried out
as follows:
1. Depress the two tabs.
2. Remove the air filter cowling.
3. Remove the paper filter.
4. Remove the foam pre-filter and clean
using a mild detergent.
Squeeze it dry with a clean cloth
5. Refit the air filter as follows:
Check that the paper filter is whole.
Mount the pre-filter under the paper filter.
Mount the paper filter in the air filter
cowling.
6. Install the filter cowling on the air filter
housing.
WARNING!
Allow the exhaust system to
cool before performing
service. Risk for burns.
