Lawn Mower Filter Fouls Are Not A Good Thing
I have a friend that is a HVAC repair person. When he comes to visit us he is known for checking the air filter of my HVAC unit. He charges me with a filter foul if it hasn't been changed in a timely manner and there is too much dirt on the existing one. He has stressed the importance of a clean air filter on more than one occasion. Air filters on lawn mowers are just as important as the filters inside your home.
The air filter on your lawn mower keeps dust, dirt, pollen & other contaminants out of the air intake manifold. These contaminants can damage the engines pistons, can clog valves and can cause expensive breakdowns. Your lawn mower engine won't last long if the filter isn't changed on a regular basis.
The air filter is porous with small enough holes to keep the bad stuff our but let plenty of air in. If the filter gets really dirty the good stuff, which is air, can't get to the intake manifold and it also allows the bad stuff to make its way to the engine.
Take care of the investment you have made in your lawn by cleaning and/ or changing your air filter regularly. Honda recommends checking the air filter element before each use and servicing it at least every 50 hours. More often if used in dirty/ dusty conditions.
A dirty lawn mower filter doesn't allow the engine to breathe and just like air is important to us, it is also important to an engine.
