Servicing the Air Filter

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner
assembly or air filter removed.

cover (B).
2. To remove the filter (C), lift the end of the filter and
then pull the filter off the intake (D).

face. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace with a new

cleaner.
