MAINTENANCE
Replacing the Air Filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run
smoothly this may be because the air filter is clogged.
If run with a soiled air filter, carbon can build-up on the
spark plugs and lead to malfunction.
For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter
regularly (see ”Maintenance Schedule” on page 29 for
the proper service interval).
Replacing the Air Filter
1. Open the engine cover.
2. Remove the two plastic fasteners on the top of the
air filter cover and remove the air filter cover.
3. Remove the foam rubber pre-filter and clean using
a mild detergent.
Squeeze it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Remove the wing nuts for the air filter and remove
the paper filter.
WARNING!
Allow the exhaust system to cool before
servicing. Risk of burns.
