3. Check the air cleaner.
Check the air cleaner elements to be sure they are clean and in good condition.
Open the left side maintenance cover. Unsnap the four clips, remove the air
cleaner cover, remove the foam element from the air cleaner cover, and check
the both elements.
Clean or replace the element(s) if necessary (see page 45).
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner element. Rapid engine wear
will result from contaminants, such as dust and dirt, being drawn through
the carburetor, into the engine.
