erly.

Fuel Specifications
In North America, diesel fuel distilled from crude oil
and identified as NO. 1-D or No. 2-D in “ASTM
D975” generally meets the proper specifications.
Air Cleaner
The air cleaner is one of the most important mainte-
nance items on the machine. A poorly maintained air
cleaner can seriously shorten the life of the engine.
Air Filter Change Procedures
NOTICE
When working in dusty conditions, the air cleaner ele-
ments should be checked and changed more frequently
than when working under normal conditions.
NOTICE
Do not clean the primary air cleaner element by bumping
and tapping. This could damage the seals. Do not use
elements with damaged pleat gaskets or seals.
1. Open the hood, release the latches on either
side of the air cleaner, and then remove the
cover.
Figure 16-6 16-010
2. Remove the primary element. The primary ele-
ment can be cleaned and reused up to five
times, but it should be changed at least once a
year.
Figure 16-7 16-011
3. Remove the safety element. The safety element
is not serviceable or washable. It should be re-
placed with every three cleanings of the primary
element.
Track Tension
Proper track tension is very important for optimum
performance and long track life. Tracks that are run
too loose can cause misfeeding and ratcheting pos-
sibly causing damage to the track. During the first 50
hours of operation, the tracks will “break in” and will
most likely require adjustment.
