IMPORTANT: Never operate engine with air filter
removed.
FIGS. 16–18: The engine air cleaner, is located above

The dust ejector (2) should be squeezed to open and
allow dust to drop out daily. This will reduce amount of

cleaner and pull air cleaner inlet tube to rear to release it
from retaining hooks. Then turn the air cleaner out for
servicing.
Release clips (3) and remove element (4). Examine
element and seals for damage and brittleness. If element
is damaged in any way it must be replaced.
NOTE: Engine air filter has a seal ring. Fit it correctly
when installing.
Air Filter element (4) may be cleaned (if in serviceable
condition) using following procedures:
Using compressed air not to exceed 2 bar (30 psi) from
inside element, remove loose dirt, grass, chaff, etc. Be
careful not to damage element pleats with air flow.
If outer element is coated with oil or soot:
• Prepare solution of warm water and non-foaming
detergent.
• Soak element for thirty minutes.
• Agitate element in solution until oil and soot are
loosened.
• Rinse element until rinse water is clear.
• Allow element to completely dry. Do not dry by using
compressed air or heat.
• After cleaning (or washing) element examine for pin
holes, punctures, or tears. If element paper, canister
or seal show any signs of physical damage, element
must be replaced.
