HOW TO CHECK, CLEAN AND CHANGE THE AIR FILTER
1. Loosen the wing nut on the side of the air-cleaner cover. (Picture 1)
2. Take off the cover. Make sure to clear the choke button.
3. The air lter is the pad on the inside of the air-cleaner cover. Check whether it is
soiled or moist.
4. If the air lter needs cleaning or no longer ts properly, remove it. Just lift an edge
carefully and “peel” it out. (Picture 2)
5. Use a brush to remove debris from the pad.
6. If the air lter is so dirty that it won’t come clean, you must replace it or severe
engine damage will occur. Order a new one directly from our Customer Service Dept.
Call 1-800-366-6268.
7. Insert your clean lter inside the air-cleaner cover.
IMPORTANT! Make sure lter is “seated” properly in the cover. The lter must t
snugly inside the rim that holds the lter in place.
Installing the lter incorrectly will cause engine damage and void the warranty. Fit the
cover back over the air cleaner. (Again, make sure to clear the choke button.)
8. Tighten the wing nut to secure the cover.

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT
The fuel lter should be replaced every year. Open the fuel cap and using the cap
retainer you can remove the fuel intake line. The lter is at the end.
Hold the fuel line and work the lter out. Then just push the new one back into the tube
making sure the clamping wire is up high enough to engage with the stem of the lter.

Note:
Please check the lip on the Air Cleaner Cover. If the lip is chipped or cracked,
it should be replaced. This will prevent dirt from being ingested through the
carburetor into the inside of the engine.
