6. Maintenance

Regular inspection and replacement of your air filter are essential for engine health.

• Inspection: Check the air filter every 25 hours of operation or at least once per mowing season. If it appears dirty, clogged, or damaged, replace it.
• Replacement Frequency: Replace the air filter annually or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions.
• Cleaning: Do not attempt to wash or clean the paper element of the air filter. Replace it with a new one. The pre-filter can sometimes be gently cleaned, but replacement is recommended if heavily soiled.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after replacing the air filter, consider the following:

• Poor Engine Performance: Ensure the air filter is installed correctly and the housing is sealed. A loose or improperly seated filter can allow unfiltered air into the engine.
• Filter Does Not Fit: Double-check the model numbers of your lawn mower and compare your old filter's dimensions with the specifications provided. Contact support if there's a discrepancy.
• Excessive Smoke: While not directly caused by the air filter, a severely clogged filter can sometimes lead to rich fuel mixtures. Ensure the filter is clean and properly installed.
