Many mowers feature an inner and an outer air filter.
Nearly every mower’s air filter is located inside an air filter box on top of the engine.
The air intake is typically located on top or at the side of the air box.
To dive into the filter, you must take off the air box cover.
Never take an air filter off of an engine while the engine is running.
A lawn mower’s fuel source is regularly replenished by filling the tank with gasoline.
Beyond this, there are two specific factors you should consider to determine the appropriate air filter replacement interval.
For instance, a dusty environment may clog an air filter sooner than normal.
Factor in your climate and your use to help determine your air filter replacement interval.
This is especially important if you’remowing wet grass.
