pre-filter is torn or otherwise damaged,
replace it with a new one. See Figure 18B.

Let dry before reinstalling.
4. Inspect the air cleaner element. If the
element is damaged or distorted, re-
place it with a new one.

dislodge debris from element or use com-
pressed air from the inside to blow debris
out and away from the air filter element.

pair or cleaning work on the unit, make
sure the engine and cutting attachment
are completely stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire before performing
service or maintenance work..
WARNING!
Non-standard parts may not operate
properly with your unit and may cause
damage and lead to personal injury

 Never repair a damaged blade by
welding, straightening, or by modify-
ing its shape. An altered blade may
break during operation, resulting in
