Maintenance
Cleaning Air Filter
See Figure 16.
A wet or dirty air lter can affect the way the engine starts,
performs, and wears. The air lter should be checked and
cleaned after 5 hours of operation. Inspect and clean more
frequently if used in dusty dirty conditions.
For best performance, the air lter should be replaced every
25 hours or yearly.
To clean the air filter:
1. Depress air lter cover tab using a straight screwdriver
to open the air lter cover.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Lift the edge of the air lter carefully and peel it out.
4. Wash the air lter with warm, soapy water.
5. Rinse and squeeze to dry.
6. To reinstall the air lter cover, insert the tabs into the
notches and lock into place.
Note: Make sure the lter is seated properly inside the
cover. Installing the lter incorrectly will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.

Note: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of lubricant used, and/or your operating conditions,
the exhaust port, mufer, and/or spark arrestor screen may
become blocked with carbon deposits. If you notice a power
loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to remove
these deposits to restore performance. We highly recom-
mend that only qualied service technicians perform this
service.
Vacuum Bag
A dirty bag will reduce performance. To clean the bag, turn it
inside out and shake. Wash the bag in soapy water at least once
a year. Replacement parts available online at www.toro.com.

This engine uses a Champion RCJ6Y spark plug. Use a
