HOW TO CLEAN THE AIR FILTERS
Some engines have two filters, an outer foam filter around an inner
paper filter. Service the foam filter every 25 hours. Service the
paper filter every 100 hours, unless not equipped with the foam filter
then service every 25 hours. If you operate in dirty conditions,
service more often.
NOTE: Never run the engine with the air filters removed. The air
filters will help protect the engine against wear. For the correct
replacement filter, see the parts list for the engine.
