tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfiltered
air entering the engine.CAUTION:ECB00460
Make sure that the air filter element is prop-

Never operate the engine with the air filter el-
ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addition-

will affect carburetor jetting with subsequent
poor performance and possible engine over-heating.EBU27010Cleaning the spark arrester Be sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
