Important: Before tipping the mower to change
the oil or replace the blades, allow the fuel tank
to run dry through normal usage. If you must
tip the mower prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip
the mower onto its side so that the air filter is
up in the air.
WARNING
Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak.
Gasoline is flammable, explosive, and can cause
personal injury.

• If the filter is damaged or is wet with oil or fuel,
replace it.
• If the filter is dirty, tap it on a hard surface

the interior of the filter using compressed air at
less than 30 psi (207 kPa).
Note: Do not brush or blow dirt from the

fibers.
