Air cleaner service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor. To prevent carburetor
malfunction, service the air cleaner regularly. Service more frequently when
operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result.
